xTool Studio (previously xTool Creative Space) is the software used to connect to the xTool product line. As written on the xTool website, the company's goal is, “to create engraving and cutting tools to replace the much less powerful knives and scissors, by making the most of laser and software technology.” As a high school teacher who teaches in the makerspace, I have spent countless hours helping students expand their creativity through the use of a laser cutter. Through this, I have developed a solid understanding of the xTool software and tools needed to turn almost any idea to life. Here is an beginner-friendly overview to help grow confidence in the xTool Studio software (not sponsored).
