Software notes This machine offers complete compatibility with the main control software currently available for diode lasers, thanks to the adoption of the 32-bit GRBL standard protocol and firmware. Users can manage engraving operations using established and well-documented programs such as LightBurn (paid software, ideal for advanced workflows and users of all operational levels) and LaserGRBL (free and open-source, perfect for those operating on Windows systems). The connection typically occurs via a standard USB cable, ensuring stable communication between the host computer and the machine's motherboard while executing the generated toolpath. The use of closed proprietary software is not required, thus offering maximum operational flexibility. Fully compatible with LightBurn and LaserGRBL (Windows only), operating via standard GRBL firmware without proprietary restrictions.
