| Software notes | The Ortur R2 operates exclusively with Ortur's proprietary mobile and desktop app, offering template-based design, sketch-to-engrave, and material-aware presets. No support for LightBurn, LaserGRBL, or any G-code sender; the control board uses a closed protocol. The built-in color touchscreen allows uploading files via USB for offline, PC-free repetition of the last 8 jobs. This simplifies use but prevents custom power/speed curves or integration with external camera systems. | 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. |
