Q: What is Atomm, and what is it for?
A: Atomm is an innovative online platform designed for crafters and makers. It combines advanced design tools, template resources, creative sharing, and a vibrant community to make your creative process more efficient and enjoyable.
With Atomm, creators can explore new features like the AImake series, which provides AI-powered tools to simplify and enhance the design process. Whether you’re working on simple projects or tackling complex ideas, Atomm is here to support your creativity every step of the way.
Q: What’s the difference between Atomm and XCS? Will XCS stay?
A: Atomm and XCS serve different purposes but work seamlessly together to offer the best creative experience:
Atomm is an advanced online platform for design, creative sharing, and resource exploration. It enables us to release new features and trendy resources faster, keeping creators ahead of the curve.
XCS focuses on machine operations, providing a direct connection to your xTool device for processing and simpler design edits.
Rest assured, XCS isn’t going anywhere—it will continue to support laser creators. Together, Atomm and XCS form a powerful combination to meet all your creative needs.
Q: Is Atomm free to use, or will there be any charges?
A: Atomm is free to use, with many features available at no cost. For those looking to access advanced tools or premium resources, we also offer optional paid features. This ensures everyone can enjoy the platform while having the option to unlock additional capabilities if needed. We’re committed to providing great value and keeping the core experience accessible to all. Thank you for your support!
Q: Is Atomm limited to Chrome? When will it be available for other browsers?
A: At present, some features—like Studio functionality—work best on Chrome. However, templates, competitions, and community activities are available on all browsers, including Safari.
We’re actively working on expanding full browser compatibility and aim to roll it out by June. Thank you for your patience as we continue to improve the experience for all users!
Q: Is Atomm just a rebranding of DesignFind/XCS?
A: We’ve noticed some users are confused about Atomm’s purpose and how it differs from XCS. Here’s a quick clarification:
Atomm is not just a rebranding of XCS. It’s a more comprehensive platform with tools for design, creative sharing, and community interaction.
The name “Atomm” is inspired by the atom, the smallest unit of the physical world, representing our vision to help creators turn small ideas into big creations.
We’ll continue to provide clearer content to help users better understand Atomm’s value.
Q: Can I use Atomm offline, or are there plans for a desktop app?
A: Currently, Atomm requires an internet connection, but we’re working on a client version to support offline usage in the future. This will ensure a smoother experience for those in areas with unstable connectivity. Stay tuned for updates!
Q: What steps are being taken to improve content moderation?
A: We’ve received feedback regarding spam and unrelated content on the platform. Here’s what we’re doing:
Improved Moderation: We’ve implemented automated checks to reduce spam and inappropriate content.
Content Organization: Features like filters, collections, and favorites are helping users find valuable projects faster.
Community Guidelines: We’re working to maintain a safe, professional platform focused on real xTool projects and meaningful collaboration.
Thank you for helping us make Atomm a better space for everyone!
