Overview
- xTool announced the X1 on Thursday, October 29, making the machine available worldwide with US launch prices starting at $3,399 and first‑batch dispatch guidance of within seven business days.
- The platform centers on a LaserSwap™ ecosystem that ships with a 55W CO2 option and supports add‑on quick‑connect modules including a 20W diode galvo, 30W fiber, 60W MOPA, and 5W UV so users can expand to metal marking, color engraving, and subsurface glass work without buying separate machines.
- The X1 uses a hybrid motion architecture that moves a flying‑galvo beam‑steering head on a large gantry to extend galvo engraving across a bigger bed, with quoted galvo speeds up to 6,000 mm/s and a CO2 cutting speed up to 600 mm/s to balance area and throughput.
- xTool’s Automated Creation System™ combines a triple‑camera overview and close‑up array, LiDAR ranging, and an AutoLift base to automate material positioning and focus for a 'Place & Go' workflow that cuts manual setup time.
- Practical limits include a roughly 1,000 × 580 × 420 mm machine footprint, a 615 × 320 mm CO2 work area, separate purchases for conveyor, rotary and air‑purification accessories, and a focus on makers and small businesses that want a single, upgradeable machine to broaden product lines and speed production.
