Cloud dependency No No
Software notes The machine can be controlled via the proprietary Ortur app, available for mobile and desktop devices, which simplifies the engraving process with pre-configured settings for various materials. The system offers versatile software compatibility, supporting both the proprietary xTool Creative Space (XCS) environment and the industry-standard LightBurn. XCS is a free, intuitive platform ideal for beginners, allowing full project management both online and in a completely offline mode, eliminating cloud dependency. For advanced users requiring sophisticated vector editing and control features, LightBurn represents the ideal choice, integrating via USB or Wi-Fi connection. This dual software option ensures that the machine can evolve alongside the user's skills, covering both straightforward workflows and more complex graphic production and engraving design layouts.
