| Software notes | The system is compatible with leading laser cutting and engraving software, such as LightBurn and LaserGRBL. The machine offers fully offline operation capabilities via its built-in touchscreen display, allowing users to manage jobs locally without the need for a permanently tethered computer during extensive runs. It supports standard G-code files and can be expanded with additional modules, such as the infrared laser for processing metals. | The system is fully compatible with LightBurn, the industry standard for laser control, which allows users to easily manage the dual laser source for processing different materials without changing the head. For users looking for a plug-and-play solution, the proprietary AtomStack Studio software is available, compatible with Windows, macOS, and even mobile devices. The latter simplifies the use of the built-in 16 MP camera, optimizing the workspace preview for quick and precise positioning, thus reducing material waste. The machine supports job resume in case of power failure and can operate offline via a USB flash drive, ensuring an uninterrupted workflow even without a continuous connection to a computer. |
