- Compact at 18 kg; LightBurn compatible on Mac and Windows
- Competitive $1,999 price for 30W fiber
Watch out for
- Small 175×175mm marking area
- Cannot cut or engrave wood, acrylic, or organic materials
- Open design — no enclosure for fumes/debris
- Manual focus only (autofocus version sold separately at higher price)
xTool F2 Ultra 60W MOPA + 40W Diode
What we like
- 60W MOPA enables color engraving on stainless steel and titanium
- 40W diode galvo for fast cutting of wood, acrylic, and leather
- Extreme 15,000 mm/s galvo speed for production-level throughput
- Dual 48MP cameras for precise auto-placement
- 150mm processing height for tall objects
- Expandable to 220×500mm with conveyor
- Enclosed for safe studio or office use
Watch out for
- Very high price (~$4,999 for dual version)
- Small 220×220mm base work area
- Galvo lasers excel at marking/engraving; cutting thick stock is limited
- Steep learning curve for MOPA pulse parameter tuning
