| 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. | Device control relies exclusively on the proprietary xTool Creative Space (XCS) software. This application manages both laser engraving and cutting operations, alongside path planning for the integrated blade cutter. The software incorporates visual alignment features assisted by the internal high-resolution camera, facilitating precise design placement on materials. There is no native support for universal third-party applications like LightBurn, restricting users to the manufacturer's ecosystem. The application is compatible with Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms, requiring an initial connection for updates but supporting offline operation. |
