| Software notes | Compatible with the free proprietary SGD Laser software (optimized for galvo systems and recommended for beginners) and LightBurn (requires a license and is partially supported for advanced features). | 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. |
