The new LaserPecker U1 promises easier glass and crystal engraving. Its 5W and 10W UV versions are interesting—but the missing specifications matter as much as the demo. Here is our buyer-focused announcement preview.
Hybrid UV and MOPA systems promise crystal, glass and serious metal work from one enclosure. Here is what the trend changes—and where the evidence still falls short.
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.
