| Software notes | The operational control of the device interfaces natively with the industry's leading third-party software, ensuring broad configuration flexibility. Compatibility with professional programs like LightBurn allows advanced users to manage complex vector workflows and detailed engraving parameters, while support for LaserGRBL offers a functional alternative for quicker operations. Additionally, the integrated wireless connectivity permits a direct connection via the proprietary Inspiraesth application, facilitating project transmission and basic settings management from mobile devices. The system does not impose cloud-dependent workflows, maintaining complete local operability to protect project confidentiality. | 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. |
