Software notes Fully compatible with LightBurn and LaserGRBL, offering WiFi, USB connectivity, and offline control via the integrated TS1 touchscreen or proprietary app. 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.
