| 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 32-bit motherboard is fully compatible with LightBurn (including M8 air control) and LaserGRBL. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity and offline printing via SD card. |
