| 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. | 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. |
