| Software notes | The machine is fully compatible with the main control software on the market, including LightBurn (paid, for advanced users) and LaserGRBL (free, available only for Windows). Connection to the computer is traditionally established via a USB cable, ensuring stability during operations. No internet connection or cloud platform is required to operate the machine, ensuring total control over your files and privacy during use. | The Ortur R2 operates exclusively with Ortur's proprietary mobile and desktop app, offering template-based design, sketch-to-engrave, and material-aware presets. No support for LightBurn, LaserGRBL, or any G-code sender; the control board uses a closed protocol. The built-in color touchscreen allows uploading files via USB for offline, PC-free repetition of the last 8 jobs. This simplifies use but prevents custom power/speed curves or integration with external camera systems. |
