Updated Dec 31,2024

When you are working with xTool Creative Space (XCS) connected machines, you need to set the parameters of the material. Different parameters create different finished designs. If you are using xTool materials, we have prepared recommended settings for different materials tailored to your specific machine and processing type. You can directly find the most suitable parameters for each material.

Selecting materials

In XCS, click User-defined material. And you will find 
  • Popular materials which include the materials you have used and the materials in the kit that comes with the machine.
  • Recommended materials, which are officially recommended.
 
If you select one of the materials, the parameters will be set automatically. And you will see the effect of different parameters.
 
You can also click on this effect image and then click on one of the array effects and the system will automatically set the appropriate Power and Speed for you.

The xTool Material EasySet Library enables you to quickly find the recommended settings for different materials tailored to your specific machine and processing types. By incorporating these settings directly into xTool Creative Space, it eliminates the need for parameter searching and testing, and enhances the quality of your projects.

(2) You can also click Filter in the upper left corner and select the appropriate Processing Module, Material Type and xTool Machine Model. And then click Apply.
 
 
Your options will appear in the upper left corner of the page, behind Filter. You can clear all your options by clicking Empty in the top right corner of the page.

STEP 3 Choose materials

Based on your filters, the system will recommend two types of materials for you. 
  • Featured Materials: xTool materials which could be bought through xTool official website.
 
  • Shared Materials: Self-defined materials uploaded by other users.
 
Both types of material parameters can be used directly as your parameters. Click on the Material cover you want. You can then see specific data about the material, including Material Name, Material Code, Thickness of the material, Machines suitable for the material.
 
By setting the Machine Model, Laser Power, Processing Mode and Processing Type, you will get the corresponding material parameters.

Important Notes

  • Ensure that xTool Creative Space (XCS) is updated to the latest version to import the setting into your software. If you use an earlier version, you need to manually enter the settings in the software.
  • Some materials may only have one set of recommended parameters due to their unique characteristics or minimal variance in outcomes.
  • Certain materials may not be suitable for processing with some xTool machines, and their parameters might not be available on the platform.
  • The EasySet Library is continuously expanding its database with new materials and settings. If you can't find a specific material, feel free to leave feedback or suggestions. We're committed to updating our resources to meet your needs.
