| Software notes | Compatible with major third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer and Cura. It features Wi-Fi connectivity managed through the Anycubic app, while still allowing offline use via USB. | The X2D uses Bambu Studio as its official software, available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It also accepts standard G-code from third-party slicers such as PrusaSlicer, SuperSlicer, and Cura, though some advanced features — including automatic calibration and dual-nozzle workflow management — are only fully supported within Bambu Studio. |
