Ecosystem
Cloud dependency No No
Software notes Fully compatible with LightBurn and LaserGRBL, it supports major operating systems via a direct USB connection. Machine control is flexible thanks to multi-platform support. The manufacturer provides the proprietary xTool Creative Space (XCS) software, which is free and intuitive, suitable for beginners and available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, operating completely offline via USB connection or TF card. For advanced users requiring professional nesting, layer management, and path optimization features, the engraver guarantees full compatibility with LightBurn. The optimized firmware architecture allows for a smooth transition between both applications, supporting the import of standard vector and raster formats such as SVG, DXF, BMP, and JPG, without any dependence on external cloud services for daily operation.
