Entry UV engraving for glass and plastic gifts

ComMarker Omni 1 is the more compact UV line for makers entering glass and plastic marking. Same caveats as all UV: material testing, eye protection, and realistic speed expectations.

Fine, burn-free marking of glass, crystal and plastics, plus 3D inner engraving, for a small business

The F2 Ultra UV is the UV version of xTool's F2 Ultra: a single 5W 355 nm UV source on a galvo, in the same enclosed body, with a 200 × 200 mm field and two 48 MP cameras. Cold processing marks glass, crystal, plastics, ceramics and heat-sensitive materials without burnt edges, and a second lens engraves 3D images inside crystal blocks up to 70 × 70 mm. It is slow for deep engraving and not built for cutting. Not to be confused with the F2 Ultra, which pairs a 60W MOPA fiber with a 40W diode.

One enclosed machine for CO₂ cutting and galvo engraving, expandable to glass and metal later

The X1 is an xTool platform revealed in late August 2026 and not yet delivered. Every X1 starts with a 55W CO₂ head on a gantry; a 20W diode galvo module, moving with the gantry, adds fast engraving and is required for the optional 5W UV, 60W MOPA and 30W fiber sources. xTool gives a maximum working area of 615 × 320 mm, up to 6,000 mm/s in galvo mode and a pass-through for projects up to 3 m. A refundable $100 deposit is open; xTool says prices will be revealed on October 28 and shipping starts on October 29, 2026. Until then, prices are unknown, and specs and dates may change.

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.

Starting a 3D crystal and fine UV marking business

The UV Pro 6W is the entry tier of Monport's 3D inner-engraving UV galvo, listed in September 2026: 355 nm, 10,000 mm/s, 10–150 kHz, a 70 × 70 mm lens for 3D work (Monport lists a 150 × 150 mm processing area), an electric Z lift, a foot pedal and a separate water chiller in the package. $3,190 on Monport's store in October 2026 and available immediately. Manual focus, no camera, no enclosure; no independent review yet.

Cold UV marking of plastics, glass, crystal and metals for a personalisation business

The Sculpfun V12 is a 12W UV galvo launched in August 2026, the big brother of the 5W V5. It ships with a 70 × 70 mm lens for fine work and 3D engraving inside crystal, and a 200 × 200 mm lens for everyday marking, on a motorized Z column with dual red-dot focusing. UV marks plastics, glass, metals, wood and paper with little heat. At $5,499 and 26.7 kg it is a business machine; no independent review yet.

Detailed engraving on organics and coated metal: occasional thin cuts only

ComMarker Omni X uses UV wavelength for cold marking on glass, some plastics, and delicate materials without as much heat damage as fiber or CO₂. Slower than fiber on metal: different tool for different materials.

Burn-free marking and inner engraving of glass and crystal with as little manual setup as possible

The U1 is a LaserPecker UV engraver shown at IFA in Berlin in September 2026 and not yet on sale. It comes in 5W and 10W UV versions; LaserPecker says the 10W cuts glass and engraves deeper. The pitch is automation: sensor-based auto-focus that finds crystal for inner engraving, surface scanning for curved objects, and a single lens for inner and surface work, in a Class 1 enclosure. LaserPecker plans sales on its own website in Q4 2026. Price, work area, wavelength and speed are not published yet, and everything may change before launch.
