Software notes 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. Powered by Creality OS (based on open-source Klipper), the printer is natively compatible with Creality Print 5.0 or newer. Wi-Fi connectivity and the built-in AI camera enable real-time remote monitoring and management.
