| 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. | Control of the device relies exclusively on the proprietary xTool Creative Space (XCS) software. This application is designed to be intuitive and accessible for beginners, integrating features for managing the internal 16-megapixel camera, visual project alignment, and automatic focusing. Unlike many other commercial laser systems, this model does not natively support LightBurn or open-source GRBL-based firmware. Consequently, advanced users accustomed to complex workflows might find the software somewhat restrictive when handling intricate vector files or deep engraving parameters that require highly customized optimization. |
