xTool uses seven different laser technologies. Each one is suited to different materials and applications:
| Laser Technology | Wavelength | Best Use Case | Materials | Advantages | Limitations |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Diode | 455 nm (blue) | Organic materials | Wood, acrylic, leather, fabric, plastic | Affordable, fast, versatile | Does not cut hard metals, does not cut clear acrylic |
| CO2 | 10,600 nm (infrared) | Wood cutting and engraving | Wood, organic materials, clear acrylic | The only option that cuts clear acrylic, handles thick wood | Not for metal, more expensive, slower |
| Fiber (Q-switched) | 1064 nm (infrared) | Deep metal engraving | Metal, titanium, aluminum, copper | Deep engraving, durable | Not ideal for organic materials, more expensive |
| MOPA | 1064 nm (adjustable pulse) | Color marking on metal | Metal (steel, titanium, copper) | Best for color marking, adjustable colors | More expensive, smaller work area in the F2 Ultra |
| UV (ultraviolet) | 355 nm (UV) | 3D internal engraving in glass | Glass, plastic, epoxy, electronics | Cold process, 0.02 mm precision, 3D inside the material | Low power, more expensive, limited work area |
| IR (infrared, low power) | 1064 nm (low power) | Surface marking on metal | Metal (surface only) | Surface marking, fast | Does not cut, no deep engraving |
| Diode Welding (MetalFab) | 808 nm (infrared) | Metal welding | Steel, aluminum, copper, stainless steel | Welds thick metal, industrial-grade quality | Very expensive, large machine |

The results produced by xTool machines can vary significantly. This section explains the differences:
What: The surface of the material is heated or vaporized immediately, causing a color change. No significant amount of material is removed.
Used With: F1, F2, F1 Ultra, F2 Ultra (on metals), S1, M1 Ultra
Advantages: Fast, cost-effective, no post-processing required, safe for sensitive materials
Suitable For: Metal markings, surface marks on wood, coated surfaces
What: The laser power is high enough to burn away or remove the top layer without cutting through the material. It can create 3D effects or color results.
Used With: F1 Ultra (fiber laser), F2 Ultra (MOPA laser)
Advantages: Deep marks, color marking on metal (with MOPA), durable and visually striking results
Suitable For: Premium products, industrial markings that need to stand out on the surface
What: The UV laser engraves images inside the glass, within a 70 mm × 70 mm area, without damaging the surface.
Used With: F2 Ultra UV (only)
Advantages: Unique effect, professional appearance, 3D images inside glass
Suitable For: Premium drinkware, glass jewelry, medical implants, awards

Recommendation: F2 Ultra
Recommendation: P2S
Recommendation: F2 Ultra UV
Recommendation: P3
Recommendation: MetalFab 800W
1. Can a diode laser cut clear acrylic?
No. The only laser type that cuts clear (transparent) acrylic is a CO2 laser (P2S or P3). Diode lasers only cut organic acrylic materials that are colored or white.
2. What is the difference between the F1 and the F1 Ultra?
The F1 uses a diode laser and performs surface marking only. The F1 Ultra uses a fiber laser + diode laser and can produce deep engraving in metal as well as cut thin metal. The F1 Ultra is also faster (10,000 mm/s vs. 4,000 mm/s) and has a larger work area (220×220 mm vs. 115×115 mm).
3. Can the F2 Ultra produce color engraving?
Yes. The F2 Ultra uses a MOPA laser, which can produce color engraving on steel and other metals by adjusting the pulse duration. This is the best option for color marking in the xTool lineup.
4. What is 3D internal engraving, and who needs it?
3D internal engraving is a process in which a UV laser (F2 Ultra UV) engraves images inside glass without damaging the surface. It is suitable for premium drinkware, glass jewelry, medical implants, and other demanding applications.
5. Is the S1 safe for school use?
Yes. The S1 is a Class 1 machine with an enclosed lid. It is safe to use in classroom settings without special laser eye protection, as long as the lid remains closed during operation.
6. Can the P2S or P3 cut leather?
Yes. Both the P2S and P3 are CO2 lasers and can cut and engrave leather very effectively. They are better than diode lasers for leather engraving.
7. What is the difference between the F1 Ultra and the F2 Ultra?
The F1 Ultra uses a fiber laser (deep engraving), while the F2 Ultra uses a MOPA laser (color marking). The F2 Ultra is also faster and more powerful (60 W vs. 20 W).
8. Can xTool cut plastic?
Yes. Both diode lasers (F1, F2, F1 Ultra, F2 Ultra, S1, M1 Ultra) and CO2 lasers (P2S, P3) can cut plastic (PET, PVC, etc.). Always verify the material before cutting, as some plastics may melt or release toxic fumes.
9. Which xTool machines require special ventilation systems?
CO2 lasers (P2S, P3) should be used with good ventilation because they generate smoke. Diode lasers (F Series, S1, M1 Ultra) also require some ventilation. Consult your ventilation supplier during installation.
10. Is MetalFab really a welding machine?
Yes. MetalFab is an industrial laser welding machine that welds stainless steel and other metals. It is fundamentally different from the other xTool machines, which primarily cut and engrave. It is a professional-grade system.
11. Can I use an xTool laser outdoors?
It is not recommended. xTool lasers contain sensitive optics that can be damaged by moisture and UV radiation. They should be used indoors in a dry environment.
12. What are the maintenance requirements for xTool machines?
Regular cleaning of lenses and mirrors (optical cleaning), coolant changes for CO2 lasers (P2S/P3), and cleaning of mechanical components. Refer to the user manual for more detailed instructions.
13. How long is the warranty on xTool machines?
The standard warranty is usually 1 year. For extended warranties and service agreement options, contact the sellers at Nettiverstas.fi.
14. Where can I buy xTool products?
