I. Welcome & Important Notes
Welcome to TyvokStudio!
Thank you very much for participating in this beta testing program. Your involvement is crucial in helping us discover and improve issues, so we can build a more outstanding laser engraving software together. We plan to make the official version free for all customers once released. This software is compatible with all TYVOK laser engraving machines (such as K1, S1, X1S, X1S Pro, X1C, A1 Mini, etc.).
Important Notes:
- Beta Version: This is an internal beta version, which may have stability issues, unfinished features, or unknown errors. It should not be used in production environments or for critical engraving tasks.
- Data Safety: Please back up your design files before using. A software crash may result in unsaved work being lost.
- Device Safety: Before actual engraving, always perform a 'dry run' (moving the laser head without firing the laser) to confirm the movement range and path are correct, preventing collisions or engraving errors.
- Feedback First: Any issues, errors, or suggestions you encounter are highly valuable. Your feedback drives our progress. (Feedback methods are provided at the end of this guide.)
