High-speed compact metal marking plus bonus diode for wood & leather

xTool's updated dual-laser desktop builds on F1 Ultra with improved speed and workflow. Still a metal-marking specialist with small default bed. Premium price for jewelry, tools, and batch metal personalization — not a general workshop replacement.

Direct bare-metal marking for jewelry, tools & personalization

A compact desktop machine combining a 20W fiber laser and 20W diode. The fiber module marks bare metal — stainless steel, aluminum, brass — without spray. Ideal for jewelry, knives, and metal gifts. Premium price for a small work area.

Fast portable dual-laser for on-site customization and small-batch metal + wood

xTool F2 (2025) upgrades the F1 formula with more power, a 50MP alignment camera, and up to 6,000 mm/s galvo speed. Dual-source (diode + infrared) for metal marking and organics in a compact box — xTool Studio only, no LightBurn.

Maximum Atomstack diode power for large panels and deep wood cuts

AtomStack A70 Max brings 70–77W compressed diode power to an 850×800 mm frame with auto-focus, touchscreen, and claims of 25 mm wood in one pass. Popular 2024–2025 upgrade path for makers outgrowing A40 Pro — still open-frame, not enclosed.

Extra-large Sculpfun diode for big panels and production-style cutting

The S40 MAX (2025) targets makers who outgrew 400 mm frames: 830×800 mm work area, 48W optical power, auto-focus, and Wi-Fi via TS1 screen. Built for sign panels and batch cutting — verify shipping weight and workshop space before ordering.

Modular enclosed galvo for makers who want one chassis and multiple laser types

Creality's Falcon T1 (global launch May 2026) is a Class 1 enclosed galvo platform with swappable WaveSync modules: 20W/40W diode, 20W fiber, 60W MOPA, and 5W UV. Buy the base once, add laser types as your shop grows — competes with xTool F1/F2 Ultra on flexibility rather than fixed dual-laser boxes.

Versatile hobby engraving with solid cutting through typical 3–6 mm basswood

The 20W S1 is the value pick in xTool's enclosed diode line: same cabinet and filters as the 40W, but less cut depth on thick wood. Buy this if safety matters and you mostly engrave.

Top-tier Sculpfun large-format cutting with maximum diode power

Sculpfun's S70 MAX pushes the S-series frame to ~70W optical class for shops that want maximum diode cutting depth without CO₂. Same oversized bed philosophy as S40 MAX — premium pricing and workshop space requirements apply.

Compact metal marking plus light diode engraving for small items

The F1 started the compact dual-laser category. Slower than F1 Ultra but often cheaper on sale. Still a metal-marking specialist with small bed — not a general workshop laser.

Versatile hobby engraving with solid cutting through typical 3–6 mm basswood

The 22W S30 Ultra is what Sculpfun sells today as the top open-frame Ultra config (often bundled with LightBurn). Best cut headroom in the family; do not confuse with older 10W or 20W listings.

Affordable enclosed laser + color print for home crafters and small shops

Launched May 2026, the M2 packs laser engraving, cutting, and integrated inkjet color printing into one enclosed desktop at $599. Built for everyday crafters and Etsy sellers who want color + laser without a pro CO₂ budget — not a metal-marking or production cutter.
