| Software notes | Fully compatible with industry-standard software such as LightBurn and LaserGRBL. The 32-bit motherboard supports Bluetooth connectivity for wireless control and future expansions. | Device control relies exclusively on the proprietary xTool Creative Space (XCS) software. This application manages both laser engraving and cutting operations, alongside path planning for the integrated blade cutter. The software incorporates visual alignment features assisted by the internal high-resolution camera, facilitating precise design placement on materials. There is no native support for universal third-party applications like LightBurn, restricting users to the manufacturer's ecosystem. The application is compatible with Windows, macOS, and mobile platforms, requiring an initial connection for updates but supporting offline operation. |
