| Software notes | The open protocol GRBL firmware allows for use with three environments: the proprietary Ortur app (free iOS/Android, smartphone control for quick operations), LightBurn (laser diode license ~$60, the de facto standard for advanced workflows with vector management, arrays, and material profiles), and LaserGRBL (free, open-source, Windows, for direct control at no additional cost). The open protocol does not lock the user into the Ortur ecosystem and ensures compatibility with third-party software updates. For repetitive production or complex files, LightBurn remains the recommended choice by the category community. | The machine can be controlled via the proprietary Ortur app, available for mobile and desktop devices, which simplifies the engraving process with pre-configured settings for various materials. |
