| Software notes | The 32-bit motherboard is fully compatible with LightBurn (including M8 air control) and LaserGRBL. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity and offline printing via SD card. | Machine control is flexible thanks to multi-platform support. The manufacturer provides the proprietary xTool Creative Space (XCS) software, which is free and intuitive, suitable for beginners and available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, operating completely offline via USB connection or TF card. For advanced users requiring professional nesting, layer management, and path optimization features, the engraver guarantees full compatibility with LightBurn. The optimized firmware architecture allows for a smooth transition between both applications, supporting the import of standard vector and raster formats such as SVG, DXF, BMP, and JPG, without any dependence on external cloud services for daily operation. |
