| Software notes | Compatible with industry-standard software LightBurn and LaserGRBL, as well as Ortur's proprietary Inspiraesth application. Supports connectivity via USB, Wi-Fi, and local memory card. | Machine control is primarily handled by the proprietary xTool Creative Space ecosystem, an intuitive application that enables native management of both laser sources and supports autofocus and camera-assisted positioning functions. For advanced users requiring more granular control over processing parameters and complex workflows, the unit offers compatibility with LightBurn. Integration with the latter requires a specific initial configuration for galvanometer systems, but it unlocks professional vector programming features, optimizing execution times across both Windows and macOS operating systems. |
