Software notes Operational management of the machine relies primarily on the manufacturer's proprietary application, designed to ensure an intuitive and accessible workflow from both mobile devices via wireless connectivity and desktop computers. This solution is optimal for quick projects and standard configurations. To meet the complex demands of professionals and experienced users, the system also offers full integration with LightBurn, the industry-leading multi-platform software for laser engraving. Utilizing LightBurn allows for advanced control over power and speed parameters, comprehensive management of vector files, the setup of multiple processing layers, and path optimization, thereby guaranteeing maximum versatility across every possible application scenario. Proprietary WeCreat software and declared LightBurn compatibility. The two official pages describe it differently, however — full on one, conditional on the other — so anyone already working in LightBurn should check which functions are covered before buying.
