Combine fiber and diode laser power in one compact, 4 kg machine. Engrave metal, wood, leather, glass, and 300+ materials with +/-0.01mm precision — right from your desktop. No complicated setup, no steep learning curve.
Each xTool F1 ships fully assembled, tested, and ready to engrave. Pick the model that matches your creative ambition.
From personalized gifts to production-scale marking, the xTool F1 adapts to your craft and your business.
Three things that set the F1 apart from every other portable engraver on the market.
The xTool F1 dual-laser system achieves positioning accuracy down to +/-0.01mm, making it possible to engrave intricate designs on jewelry, coins, and delicate materials with consistent results across hundreds of pieces. The built-in camera preview and auto-focus calibration mean you verify placement before every run, eliminating waste.
From stainless steel tumblers to leather wallets, glass awards to wooden signs, the F1 handles metals, plastics, leather, wood, glass, ceramics, and more. Its dual-laser configuration (fiber + diode) means you switch between material types without changing equipment or recalibrating optics.
The xTool F1 ships fully assembled. Connect it to your laptop, open xTool Creative Space, and start engraving. Built-in material presets, auto-focus, and a camera preview system mean you spend time creating rather than troubleshooting. Most users complete their first project within 30 minutes of unboxing.
Quick answers to the questions new xTool F1 buyers ask most often.
The fiber laser (1064nm wavelength, typically 2W-10W depending on model) excels at engraving metals like stainless steel, gold, silver, brass, and aluminum. It also marks hard plastics and stone. The diode laser (455nm, 10W optical) handles organic materials: wood, leather, acrylic, fabric, cardboard, and coated glass. Both lasers share the same optical path, so you switch between them in software without physically moving your workpiece.
The F1 is primarily an engraving and marking machine. The diode laser can cut thin materials like paper, cardstock, felt, and thin leather (up to about 3mm). It cannot cut acrylic, wood thicker than 3mm, or any metal. If cutting is your primary need, consider pairing the F1 with a dedicated laser cutter for thicker stock.
The standard F1 has a 115mm x 115mm (roughly 4.5" x 4.5") engraving area. This is designed for small to medium items like jewelry, phone cases, name badges, and tumblers (with rotary). For larger projects, the F1 Ultra offers an expanded work area. We recommend checking your typical item dimensions against these specs before ordering.
xTool Creative Space is the primary software, available for Windows 10+ and macOS 11+. It includes material presets, a camera preview function, batch processing tools, and design import from SVG, PNG, JPG, DXF, and AI files. The F1 is also compatible with LightBurn for users who prefer that workflow, though some dual-laser switching features require xTool Creative Space.
This depends on your primary application. The xTool F1 excels at small-item engraving (jewelry, tumblers, badges) and metal marking, with a 115mm x 115mm work area and dual fiber+diode capability. A full-size CO2 laser (40W-80W, work area 300mm x 500mm or larger) is better for cutting thick acrylic, large-format wood, and high-volume sheet work. CO2 lasers cost significantly more ($2,000-$8,000+), require dedicated ventilation, and occupy far more space. If you need both metal engraving and large-format cutting, many shops pair the F1 with a separate CO2 cutter. Neither machine replaces the other — they serve different segments of the laser processing spectrum.
Yes. The F1 fiber laser cannot engrave non-metallic transparent materials (clear glass requires the diode with masking). The diode laser cannot mark bare metals. Neither laser is suitable for PVC or vinyl, which release toxic chlorine gas when burned. Highly reflective polished copper and certain alloys may produce inconsistent results at the F1 power range (2W-10W fiber). Materials thicker than 3mm generally cannot be cut. Food-contact items engraved with the F1 should be tested for coating safety before commercial use. Understanding these boundaries helps you avoid wasted material and set realistic expectations for your projects.
The F1 draws approximately 120W during operation, comparable to a desktop computer. It runs on standard 110-240V household power (auto-switching). No special electrical setup is required. Standby power consumption is under 5W.
