News, guides, and stories from the world of laser cutters.
The new xTool M2 combines diode laser cutting, optional infrared marking and CMYK printing in one camera-aligned platform. Here is what makes it different—and where the compromises remain.
The xTool F2 Ultra UV uses a 5W, 355nm UV cold laser to engrave clear acrylic, glass, crystal and delicate electronics without burns or cracks, enabling micro-text and 3D subsurface effects.
The xTool F2 has just been announced as a new and better portable dual-laser engraving machine with advanced camera alignment and high speed — here’s everything we know so far.
The Sculpfun V5 UV Laser Marking Machine marks a technological leap, bringing industrial 355nm 'cold light' engraving to the prosumer market. With a 1.9-micron spot size and a 10,000 mm/s Galvo system, the V5 delivers unparalleled precision, zero-burn results on plastics, and the unique ability to perform subsurface crystal engraving.
The Sculpfun A9 Ultra promises to solve the 'two-machine problem' by combining a 40W diode and a 20W fiber laser. With an aggressive presale campaign, we dive deep to see if this dual-laser deal is a revolutionary steal for creators or a marketing ploy with hidden flaws. Is this the one laser to rule them all?
The LaserPecker LP2 Plus claims a 6x speed increase and double the power of its predecessor. This review dives deep into the specs, comparing the new 10W laser, 4000 mm/s speed, LightBurn support, and enhanced safety features to determine if this is a true revolution in portable laser engraving.
The Acmer X1 arrives with a water-cooled 120W diode laser, 4W IR, and a CNC router on a massive 4'x8' frame. This isn't just an upgrade; it's a new standard for personal manufacturing, making industrial power accessible to all.
Atomstack has unveiled the Glacier 120W water-cooled diode laser on Kickstarter, promising deep one-pass cuts and 24/7 operation. But with the most powerful proven diode so far — the Atomstack A70 at ~70W — many question how realistic 120W claims are.
Gweike enters the desktop market with the G3 Dual Laser: 60W MOPA fiber + 40W diode, camera alignment and Kickstarter launch – a new competitor to the xTool F2 Ultra.
Shenzhen Hingin Tech Co., Ltd., known for its LaserPecker brand of portable engravers, has announced a new product, the LaserPecker LX2. The device is a fully enclosed, desktop laser cutter and engraver. The launch represents a strategic shift for the company, which has previously focused on compact, handheld devices, into the prosumer and small business market.
Creality unveiled the Falcon T1 at IFA 2025 – the world’s first “5-in-1” laser engraver. With interchangeable diode and infrared modules, it can process over 350 materials, combining versatility with ease of use and high safety standards. A milestone for creators seeking a single, flexible device.
