| Software notes | Controlled by open GRBL firmware, it is compatible with LightBurn (paid, Windows/macOS/Linux) and LaserGRBL (free, Windows). The standard protocol is independent of proprietary software and allows the use of any GCode client. File transfer is via USB or microSD card, without cloud dependency. | Machine control is primarily handled by the proprietary xTool Creative Space ecosystem, an intuitive application that enables native management of both laser sources and supports autofocus and camera-assisted positioning functions. For advanced users requiring more granular control over processing parameters and complex workflows, the unit offers compatibility with LightBurn. Integration with the latter requires a specific initial configuration for galvanometer systems, but it unlocks professional vector programming features, optimizing execution times across both Windows and macOS operating systems. |
