Introducing xTool F1 Ultra: The World's First 20W Fiber & Diode Galvo-Dual Laser
Since the advent of desktop laser cutting and engraving machines, two types have been prevalent: diode and CO2 lasers. These laser machines can engrave a range of common materials, but they fall short when it comes to metal.
For years, DIY enthusiasts have yearned for the powerful and quick fiber laser technology reserved for industrial applications. The xTool F1 Ultra is a groundbreaking technological breakthrough—the first desktop laser machine in the world to feature a 20W fiber laser and 20W diode laser.
Join us as we explore how the F1 Ultra stands apart from its predecessors and discover what makes it a revolutionary addition to the world of laser technology.
World’s First 20W Fiber plus 20W Diode Laser
For those unaware, the laser types are based on the material of the gain medium. The laser source strikes the gain medium and gets amplified. Most market lasers either use diode-pumped solid-state lasers (DPSS) or CO2 lasers. The wavelength of laser emitted by these is absorbed by most materials excluding metals, and the cutting speed is nominal.
xTool F1 Ultra is a revolutionary machine that packs in a 20W fiber laser. Unlike other market lasers, it uses fiber laser as a gain medium to maximize power, resulting in deeper engraving and cutting at the same operating power level.
No Material Limits
Besides a 20W fiber laser, F1 Ultra also features a 20W diode laser. Collectively, the duo can support almost all materials.
The fiber laser handles all metals (gold, silver, copper, stainless steel, brass, titanium, etc.), plastics, rocks (slate, cobblestone), and ceramics. Meanwhile, the diode laser excels at engraving wood, acrylic (excluding clear acrylic), leather, glass, rubber, and fabric, etc.
All-Round Engraving Solution
Engraving is a key feature of laser machines, and the xTool F1 Ultra excels in this area with its 20W fiber and diode lasers. This powerful combination enables in-depth 3D laser engraving on common materials and metals. Color engraving on metals is also a possibility with this special fiber laser.
F1 Ultra also supports engraving on curved and uneven surfaces. Its smart camera scans the contour and automatically adjusts the focus during engraving. Moreover, F1 can engrave cylindrical objects using xTool’s signature rotary attachment, the RA2 Pro.
Metal Cutting Made Accessible
Metal cutting has traditionally been confined to industrial environments as the market’s desktop laser cutters lacked the necessary power and appropriate laser wavelength. The xTool F1 Ultra, equipped with a 20W fiber laser, shatters these limitations. Now, F1 Ultra allows for thin metal cutting, making adding metallic elements to the crafts possible.
Some approximate thicknesses that can be cut include stainless steel (0.3mm), brass (0.4mm), and aluminum (0.2mm), making metal cutting more accessible than ever before.
Factory-Level Productivity
xTool F1 ultra not only packs industrial fiber but also offers the same performance features. Engraving speed of 10,000mm/s was once exclusive to industrial machines. xTool now integrates it into a desktop laser cutter.
F1 also comes with an Auto conveyor bed which allows users to work on longer lengths with ease. This system is supported by a smart camera that can automatically recognize shapes on the conveyor and enables F1 Ultra to intelligently engrave patterns to every piece.
Largest Desktop Galvo Laser Engraver Ever
Design-wise, the xTool F1 Ultra stands out as the largest desktop galvo-laser engraver available. It features a working area of 220 by 220mm, which is expandable to 220 by 500mm with an auto conveyor. In terms of height, it can handle objects up to 145mm, making it the most versatile in its class.
Powerful Yet Safe
Being a powerful fiber, one may be concerned about safety. Like other xTool machines, safety is at the forefront of our product.
F1 Ultra is fully enclosed to prevent any laser escape. It also features a laser filtering lid, which eliminates the need for external safety gear during use. The laser power will drop to a harmless light if the cover opens during laser work. Moreover, an efficient smoke extraction is in place to remove smoke and dust during engraving, ensuring a safe environment for indoor or storefront use.
Ultra-Easy to Master
The xTool F1 Ultra is designed for all users, beginners, or professionals. The machine comes fully assembled—simply turn it on and start crafting.
The compatible software, XCS, is user-friendly. With one click you can set optimal parameters. The software already has a preset setting for over 400 materials. These settings have been tested and optimized for the best engraving and cutting results.
The design positioning has been made simple with a smart camera system that provides a clear picture of the whole workspace in XCS. You can just drag and drop designs onto the material.
Its Auto Focus functionality is another highlight. Just place the material inside and select it in xTool material library. The machine then calculates the material thickness, and adjusts the laser head’s position for engraving. The option to set manual focus is also available for user-defined materials.
This time, we have also added a unique control feature. The F1 Ultra includes a Touch Screen Control Panel with 7GB of storage. You can save your projects directly on the control panel and start processing with the F1 Ultra without connecting to a computer or tablet.
Endless Creative Applications
With its 20W fiber laser and diode laser, the xTool F1 Ultra significantly expands material compatibility, opening up a door of creative possibilities. The powerful fiber laser allows for intricate 3D engravings, perfect for creating jewelry pieces.
Its compact size, high engraving speed, and safe operation make it ideal for in-store customizations. For businesses needing batch production, the F1 Ultra is the latest option to explore.
