This course was originally recorded in XCS, but the core workflows are still applicable in xTool Studio. Some screens and menu names may look a little different due to UI updates, but the steps and concepts remain the same. This course guides complete beginners through the essentials of xTool Studio—from initial setup to completing a first laser project. You’ll learn key safety checks, how to connect your xTool device, and how to navigate the software interface. We’ll cover the basics of working with vector vs. bitmap files, choosing processing modes, and setting parameters for different materials and effects. With clear, step-by-step instruction, you’ll follow the full workflow—prepare your material, preview, set paths, and run your job—so you can build confidence and move on to more advanced xTool Studio features next.
