Ecosystem
Cloud dependency No No
Software notes Fully compatible with LightBurn and LaserGRBL for PC control. It also supports the dedicated mobile Sculpfun App via Bluetooth connection. Control is managed exclusively via xTool Creative Space (XCS), the proprietary software compatible with major desktop and mobile operating systems. XCS handles the multi-tool ecosystem, allowing seamless switching from laser cutting setup to blade cutting or inkjet printing within the same project. The software supports standard vector and raster file formats and includes automatic path optimization tools. Due to the complex multi-tool architecture, the system does not offer native compatibility with industry-standard software like LightBurn, binding the user to the manufacturer's official interface, which receives regular updates.
