| Software notes | 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. | The xTool F1 Lite is compatible with xTool Studio (proprietary, free, Windows and macOS). The galvo system uses a proprietary protocol: LaserGRBL is not compatible as it requires GRBL firmware on a gantry controller. LightBurn introduced experimental galvo support in version 1.4+, but compatibility with the F1 Lite's specific controller is not officially certified by xTool, making the experience unguaranteed. In practice the user is tied to xTool Studio, which handles core functions but does not offer the flexibility of community profiles, macros, and advanced layers available in LightBurn for GRBL gantry lasers. |
