As far as I know, the controller only works with their software. I'm sure you could probably hack up something once you figured out the protocol, but it works well enough that I've not had any real desire or intention to try to get something else to work. Most software is either going to work via USB and send the file to the laser, or it's going to work with a different pseudo-printer driver, like the Epilog. The major key is, where are you doing the design of your file which is what makes the major differences. I use Adobe Illistrator. Lots of folks prefer Corel, but I've always been an Adobe guy so haven't really tried to figure out how to do the same stuff in Corel. Either works tho. You're just outputting into a file format that the controller software can read (all the same, but primarily DXF or AI for vector graphics, or JPG/GIF/PNG for raster), selecting that layer and setting a speed and power level, and hit GO.
