Fiber laser (1064 nm)
F2 · Intermediate
The €700–€1,000 segment for portable lasers is primarily occupied by single-source machines: the F2's differentiator is its dual laser module (15W diode 405–460nm + 5W IR 1064nm), which enables direct engraving on stainless steel, titanium, and precious metals without marking spray. A €400–€500 open-frame machine with comparable diode power offers neither an IR module nor a built-in enclosure, making professional on-site use impossible. The typical buyer runs a personalization service at events (weddings, craft markets, corporate fairs) where live metal engraving justifies higher selling prices—user testimonials report price increases of 20% on customized products. Those who work exclusively with wood and acrylic in a fixed workshop don't take advantage of either the IR module or the portability, and find no measurable advantage over lower-end machines.

Software
The F2 is only compatible with xTool Creative Space (a proprietary protocol); LightBurn is not officially supported. The integrated camera positioning feature is only available within xTool Creative Space. The simplified interface reduces setup time in on-site scenarios, but precludes integration into existing LightBurn-based workflows and limits access to advanced job queuing and exportable custom material libraries. For a user with multiple machines already running LightBurn, the closed protocol represents a material operational discontinuity.
Reviews from those who use this machine every day will be available in the next version of the platform.
