xTool F1 Ultra
The xTool F1 Ultra is priced at approximately $1,799, between the xTool F1 (~$999, 2W IR + 10W diode) and the F2 Ultra (~$3,500, 60W MOPA). The jump from 2W to 20W fiber enables deep metal engraving and cutting of brass up to 0.4mm, stainless steel up to 0.3mm, and aluminum up to 0.2mm—operations not possible with low-power IR sources. The 20W diode module adds cutting capability on wood up to 15mm and acrylic up to 12mm, eliminating the need for a second machine. The ideal user profile is a lab or small business customizing jewelry and promotional metal items that operates multiple hours per day; those working exclusively with organic materials may want to consider lower-cost pure diode lasers.

Software
The xTool F1 Ultra is compatible exclusively with xTool Studio (proprietary protocol); LightBurn does not support fiber source features on this machine. xTool Studio includes camera-assisted positioning and the 'Auto Streamline' feature for batch production. The closed ecosystem precludes integration with custom G-code workflows or third-party automation, a significant limitation for makers with advanced production pipelines that require direct control over the firmware.
Reviews from those who use this machine every day will be available in the next version of the platform.
