| Software notes | Fully compatible with standard software like LightBurn and LaserGRBL via USB or Bluetooth connection. It does not require proprietary platforms. | The system offers dual software compatibility that expands operational possibilities for both beginners and advanced users. The proprietary application, xTool Creative Space, is available for free across multiple platforms and natively manages the machine's advanced features, such as three-dimensional surface mapping and sensor-based positioning, making the workflow smooth and immediate. For more complex workflows, the machine fully supports LightBurn, the industry standard for laser engraving and cutting. This flexibility allows users to choose between a guided, simplified interface and a professional design environment, although certain manufacturer-specific calibrations may require the proprietary software for optimal configuration. |
