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 system offers dual software compatibility that expands operational possibilities for both beginners and advanced users. The proprietary application, xTool Creative Space, is available for free across multiple platforms and natively manages the machine's advanced features, such as three-dimensional surface mapping and sensor-based positioning, making the workflow smooth and immediate. For more complex workflows, the machine fully supports LightBurn, the industry standard for laser engraving and cutting. This flexibility allows users to choose between a guided, simplified interface and a professional design environment, although certain manufacturer-specific calibrations may require the proprietary software for optimal configuration.
