The xTool X1 is a Class 1 laser cutter and engraver that combines two worlds: a 55 W CO2 laser that cuts plywood, acrylic, leather and card, and galvo engraving that marks and engraves at up to 6,000 mm/s — including stainless steel, aluminium and brass. Four laser sources mount on the same body: a 20 W diode, a 30 W fiber laser, a 60 W MOPA and a 5 W UV laser.
This guide covers what each laser source does, the difference between a fiber laser and a MOPA laser, and which X1 configuration — Standalone, Versatile or All-in-one — suits which use: signage and awards, batch engraving, permanent metal marking, production and business use.
The X1 is a fully enclosed Class 1 laser device: no safety glasses or separate laser room needed, so it suits workshops, production spaces and schools. The working area is 615 × 320 mm, and the CO2 laser cuts up to 18 mm plywood and 20 mm acrylic.
Positioning is handled by three cameras: an 8 MP overview camera, a 12 MP close-up camera accurate to better than 0.3 mm, and LiDAR for autofocus. At the back sits the Laser Swap platform where galvo sources mount without tools — the configuration can be extended later.
The CO2 laser is the machine's cutting tool: plywood, MDF, acrylic, leather, card and many other non-metals. Cutting speed is up to 600 mm/s, and the enclosed housing keeps smoke and radiation inside. The CO2 also engraves glass, stone and coated metal.
CO2 cutting and galvo engraving run in the same job file: xTool Studio cuts the blank with the CO2 and marks the details with the galvo using a single alignment.
In galvo engraving, mirrors steer the beam at up to 6,000 mm/s — several times faster than gantry engraving, so batch jobs finish in minutes. Four sources are available for the X1 — click to expand:
The diode galvo is the base the other sources mount onto. It engraves wood, leather, coated metal and plastic, and covers marking work. 20 W diode galvo module in the shop.
The fiber source is the core metal source: permanent marking, deep engraving and thin-metal work with a 0.05 mm spot — steel, aluminium, brass, tools, plates and serial numbers. The fixed-pulse source works metal in a single colour. 30 W fiber galvo source in the shop.
MOPA is the professional version of the fiber laser: pulse duration and frequency are adjustable, which enables colour engraving on stainless steel, deep reliefs, thin-metal cutting and leather work with a 0.04 mm spot. 60 W MOPA galvo source in the shop.
The UV source marks materials that heat would damage: plastics, glass and electronics. Cold marking for precise, permanent marks on demanding objects. 5 W UV galvo source in the shop.
Both are fiber-based galvo sources for the same Laser Swap platform, but the pulse makes the difference: the fiber source has a fixed pulse, while the MOPA's duration and frequency are adjustable. That is why only the MOPA does colour engraving on stainless steel — the fiber source engraves in a single colour and costs less when colours are not needed.
| 30 W fiber | 60 W MOPA | |
|---|---|---|
| Pulse | fixed | adjustable duration and frequency |
| Spot | 0.05 mm | 0.04 mm |
| Colour engraving on steel | no | yes |
| Use | marking, deep engraving | colour engraving, deep reliefs, thin metal, leather |
The X1 is sold as ready-made configurations. Standalone is the machine with your chosen source. Versatile adds the RA3 rotary (cylinders up to Ø 110 mm — mugs, bottles), the intelligent conveyor feeder (material up to 610 × 1,500 mm) and a mobile work stand — a ready production cell. All-in-one also adds the SafetyPro AP2 air purifier, filtering 99.97% of particles: the laser runs indoors without ducting.
Configurations in the shop: X1 CO2 + diode galvo, Fiber Versatile, MOPA All-in-one — and the rest in the laser cutters and engravers category. Current prices are on the product pages.
The X1 is built for work that needs both cutting and fast engraving: sign and award making, product personalisation, permanent marking of serial numbers and logos on metal, giftware production, jewellery workshops and digital fabrication labs. Class 1 safety and triple-camera positioning make it easy to adopt even without prior laser experience.
The 60 W MOPA source cuts thin metal and the 30 W fiber source works it. The X1 is not meant for cutting thick metal plate — its metal strength is marking, engraving and thin sheet.
No. The X1 is a fully enclosed Class 1 laser device that can be used in a normal workspace without safety glasses.
Yes. The Laser Swap platform accepts sources without tools, and the sources are sold separately. The other sources require the 20 W diode galvo module they mount onto.
Versatile adds the RA3 rotary, the conveyor feeder and the work stand. All-in-one also adds the SafetyPro AP2 air purifier, so no ducting is needed.
Yes — with the RA3 rotary included in the Versatile and All-in-one bundles. The maximum diameter in the X1 is 110 mm.
