| Software notes | The F2 is only compatible with xTool Creative Space (a proprietary protocol); LightBurn is not officially supported. The integrated camera positioning feature is only available within xTool Creative Space. The simplified interface reduces setup time in on-site scenarios, but precludes integration into existing LightBurn-based workflows and limits access to advanced job queuing and exportable custom material libraries. For a user with multiple machines already running LightBurn, the closed protocol represents a material operational discontinuity. | The operational management of the machine is primarily entrusted to the proprietary software, engineered to fully exploit the dual-source setup and ease the transition between different cutting and engraving parameters. This application offers an intuitive interface enriched with advanced features for vector path optimization and power calibration. For professionals who have already integrated standard workflows into their workshops, compatibility with LightBurn, the industry standard for laser control, is fully guaranteed. This dual software option ensures complete flexibility, allowing less experienced users to get started quickly while enabling specialized technicians to configure complex pulse modulation parameters. |
