    I am curious to know why the software continues to run in the background after closing it out? I have to go in to task manager and manually close it.

    Use the menu: Rightclick system tray icon (or just leave it running - with it closed down it uses minimal resouces, just waits to be called)

    It stays open because OpenBuildsCAM, SketchuCAM, and any others that use our open API, can do "integration" - ie inject GCODE into CONTROL for you - the "transfer" buttons in the CAM applications
    Application sitting in the background, sees the CAM applications calling it

    It also makes launching it faster (backend already running)

    And you can access its web interface from other devices while it sits quietly in the corner
