Software notes Numerical control management is based on an open architecture that ensures full compatibility with the main third-party software programs in the industry. Users can interface with the machine using LightBurn, the professional standard for preparing and sending toolpaths, or opt for LaserGRBL, a highly capable, free open-source alternative specifically designed for Windows environments. Connectivity includes standard USB cable operation for stable data transmission, complemented by an integrated Wi-Fi module that enables remote management. Furthermore, the manufacturer provides the proprietary Laser Explorer application, designed for mobile devices, which further simplifies starting quick jobs or monitoring processes directly from a smartphone, thereby significantly increasing the overall flexibility and accessibility of the operational ecosystem. It supports mobile connection via the proprietary Sculpfun app and wired connection to a PC for use with LightBurn and LaserGRBL. Compatible with major desktop and mobile operating systems.
