Switching between different type of laser machines for engraving on metal and non-metal surfaces can be frustrating, time-consuming, and costly for businesses.
It not only slows down the production but also makes handling of the project a complex task that creates delays in deliveries and ultimately results in the loss of the project.
Sounds familiar? Well, you can save cost and time by using machines like xTool F2 Ultra Dual Laser Engraver – a portable, dual-source unit designed for pro results in less time.
It has speeds of up to 15,000 mm/s and a smart dual-camera setup that help you accurately position items in the machine. In additions, machines like that offers ultra-precise 0.001 mm accuracy.
In this article, we will discuss more about standout features, real-world applications, and why this is best for single-laser engravers. Keep reading!
What Makes The xTool F2 Ultra Dual Laser Engraver Different?
Dual Laser Tech in One Compact Unit
xTool F2 Ultra features a dual-laser system consisting of a 60W MOPA fiber laser and a 40W diode laser, combined in one space-saving package. The Fiber Laser delivers professional results for metal engraving, including oxidation of stainless steel and Titanium through advanced Pulse control.
The diode laser, however, can process organic and coated materials such as wood, leather, acrylics, glass, and plastics cleanly without scorching/endcapping. By integrating these two technologies, the F2 Ultra eliminates the need for retooling – so you can transition from metal to non-metal seamlessly.
Features That Drive Real Production Gains
Here are some unique features of xTool F2 Ultra Dual Laser Engraver which makes it best for metal and non-metal engraving.
AI One-Click Workflow
This dual laser engraver has built-in AI that detects your material to automatically sets the right power, speed, and focus.
It also has capabilities to recognize colour options for the MOPA fiber laser, giving you consistent, vibrant finishes on metal and non-metal surfaces. With AI-powered scaling, positioning, and batch setup, even complex jobs become easy and quick.
48 MP Dual Hawk Vision Cameras
It allows you to see how the design will print and what the outcome of the engraving will be. There are double 48 MP cameras to give you a live preview, making design placement and batch alignment quick and easy. This reduces waste, improves accuracy and shortens the learning curve for new users.
15,000 mm/s Marking Speed
With blazing speeds of up to 15,000 mm/s, the F2 Ultra handles high-volume engraving like barcodes, serial numbers, and custom designs. It can finish the job quickly while maintain the quality.
Precision & Workspace
Expect detail at every level. Even micro-text and intricate patterns are crisp with a precision of ±0.001 mm. And, while the 220 x 220 mm build area is best for day-to-day projects, its conveyor system can extend that area to 500 × 220 mm for longer production prints.
What You Can Make: High-Value Applications
Industrial and compliance – It can engrave deep, permanent marks on stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, and titanium. This means you can create serial numbers, QR codes, or barcodes that meet compliance standards.
Jewelry and luxury – Apply your logo, employ high-detail micro-patterns, or leverage the fiber laser’s pulse control capabilities to engrave stunning colour designs on titanium rings or stainless steel watch backs.
Promotional and gifting – This is also great for customised gifting or promotions, if you run some business, then having a nice engraving on tumblers, wallets, keychains, knives, etc. is a good way to promote your products and services.
Signage and plates – Produce metal and acrylic nameplates, branding plates, or tags with clean, sharp detail.
Electronics & Equipment – Label housings, casings, and hand tools with durable markers so that your equipment fits seamlessly into their end application and remains trackable and professional-looking.
Why It Beats Single-Laser Setups
The xTool F2 Ultra outperforms single-laser machines by offering metal and non-metal engraving in one device, eliminating the need for a second setup.
Unlike standard diode units, it delivers true colour engraving on stainless steel and titanium through advanced MOPA fiber technology. Moreover, with speeds of up to 15,000 mm/s, it handles production runs far faster than typical systems.
Its dual 48MP vision cameras ensure precise placement, while built-in AI presets automatically adjust settings for each material. The result? Higher throughput, lower learning curve, and professional results that single-laser engravers simply can’t match.
