Description

xTool Creative Space (XCS) is a free, intuitive design and control software developed to be used with xTool laser cutters and engravers. It allows users to design, edit, and send projects directly to their xTool device for engraving, cutting, or scoring on materials like wood, acrylic, leather, and metal.

Ideal for Grades 6–12 and post-secondary, xTool Creative Space helps students explore digital fabrication, design thinking, and entrepreneurship by connecting creative design with hands-on making—transforming digital ideas into real-world objects.

Features

  • Design Tools: Create or edit designs with shapes, text, and drawing tools—or import files (SVG, PNG, JPG, DXF, PDF).
  • Material Presets: Built-in settings for hundreds of materials with pre-calibrated power and speed options.
  • Camera Preview: Align designs precisely on your material using the machine’s live camera feed (available on compatible devices).
  • Layer Management: Assign different actions—cut, engrave, or score—to separate layers in one project.
  • Image Tracing: Automatically turn photos or sketches into engravable vector artwork.
  • Offline & Online Use: Work without an internet connection or sync projects through your xTool account.
  • Ready-Made Templates: Access a growing library of sample projects and classroom-friendly designs.
