| Software notes | WeCreat states a free application, an HD camera and real-time preview for positioning the workpiece. The name of the software and the importable formats are not declared on the official pages, and LightBurn compatibility is not declared either, unlike on the Vision and the Vista: anyone coming from another machine cannot take for granted that their own job settings will carry over. | The xTool F1 Ultra is compatible exclusively with xTool Studio (proprietary protocol); LightBurn does not support fiber source features on this machine. xTool Studio includes camera-assisted positioning and the 'Auto Streamline' feature for batch production. The closed ecosystem precludes integration with custom G-code workflows or third-party automation, a significant limitation for makers with advanced production pipelines that require direct control over the firmware. |
