| Software notes | Natively supports LightBurn and LaserGRBL via direct connection, ensuring full compatibility with major laser control operating environments. | Machine operation is managed through the proprietary xTool Creative Space (xTool Studio) software, developed specifically by the manufacturer and available for both Windows and macOS operating systems. The interface guides the user in preparing files and calibrating cutting or engraving parameters, supporting the import of popular vector and raster formats, such as SVG, DXF, JPG, JPEG, PNG, and BMP. The connection between the computer and the machine can be established physically via a USB cable or wirelessly through a local Wi-Fi network. For this specific model, the manufacturer currently does not claim any official compatibility with third-party software applications for laser control, including the well-known LightBurn and RDWorks. |
