| Software notes | It uses the proprietary WeCreat application, which includes a library of images, projects and fonts, and is declared compatible with LightBurn. LightBurn support matters above all to those coming from another machine: it allows job settings already built to be reused instead of rebuilding them inside the manufacturer's ecosystem. | Device control is primarily managed through the proprietary xTool Creative Space software, an intuitive and constantly updated application ideal for managing graphic workflows and calibrating cutting and engraving parameters. For users requiring professional features or established workflows, the machine guarantees compatibility with LightBurn, the industry standard. The software integration allows for surface mapping and automatic positioning without the need for traditional cameras, simplifying file preparation in both Windows and macOS environments via USB or Wi-Fi connections. |
