| Software notes | The machine is compatible with major third-party software like LightBurn and can also be controlled via the proprietary Sculpfun app from mobile devices or PCs. | Operational management is flexible, adapting to various workflows through dual software compatibility. The manufacturer provides xTool Creative Space, a free, proprietary application that is intuitive and beginner-friendly, supporting connectivity via Wi-Fi, USB cable, or TF card for offline operation. For experienced users requiring advanced vector editing capabilities and precise control over scanning parameters, the machine fully supports LightBurn. The latter requires a separate license purchase and initial setup via dedicated configuration files, but it unlocks the hardware's full potential for optimizing execution times and managing complex multi-layer projects. |
