You have a thousand ideas in mind and a variety of materials you'd like to work with, but no single laser seems capable of handling all your material requirements? Then the xTool X1 could be exactly the machine you're looking for.
In its standalone configuration, the X1 is a powerful 55W CO2 laser. However, with optional external modules, it can also be converted into a fiber laser, diode laser, MOPA laser, or UV laser. What does this mean for you? If your material requirements change over time, you can simply switch to a different laser type by adding an external module – without having to purchase an entirely new laser. This is what makes the X1 so special and unique.
A True Powerhouse Even as a Standalone Machine
Even in its standalone configuration, the xTool X1 offers a wide range of material processing options. As a CO2 laser, it really excels at cutting and engraving all kinds of acrylic. It also delivers excellent results when engraving glass. In addition, you can process wood, cork, leather, and many other materials.
You'll find suitable engraving and cutting settings, as well as countless example projects, in the free xTool Studio software. Alternatively, you can create your own projects and import files in .svg, .png, .jpg, and many other formats.
What You Get When Upgrading Your Laser
Please note: The following features, including Hybrid Motion™ and the LaserSwap™ system, are only available when using the diode-Galvo module for the X1.
Hybrid Motion™ – Combining Large Work Areas with Fast, Detailed Engraving
With a conventional gantry laser, the laser head moves mechanically across the work area. This allows for large processing areas and is particularly well suited to cutting. A Galvo laser, on the other hand, directs the laser beam using rapidly moving mirrors, making it especially fast at engraving small details, text, and fine lines.
Equipped with the Galvo module, the xTool X1 combines both technologies in a single system. What does this mean for you? Large designs no longer need to be manually divided and repositioned repeatedly, while fine details can still be engraved at high speed.
LaserSwap™ – Different Laser Types for Different Applications
One of the X1's most outstanding features is the LaserSwap™ system. Put simply, this means you're not limited to CO2 laser technology with the xTool X1. By purchasing the 20W diode-Galvo module, you can use your X1 as either a CO2 or diode laser. You can also expand its capabilities later by adding further modules, allowing you to use it as a 30W fiber laser, 60W MOPA laser, or 5W UV laser.
So, if you decide to work with different materials in the future or want to create color or deep engravings on metal, internal engravings on glass, and other specialized applications, you can upgrade your X1 whenever you need to – without having to purchase a separate laser machine.
Find out more about the X1 and all its features on our dedicated information page (DE).
Important: The diode-Galvo module is required to upgrade the X1 with the fiber, MOPA, or UV module.

The Makeblock success story began in 2012 when Jasen Wang, the founder and CEO, had a groundbreaking idea. As a passionate maker, Jasen realised how difficult it can be to turn a creative idea into reality. This drive gave rise to his first project: Makeblock.
Makeblock specialises in promoting STEAM education. The company helps young students develop their creativity by developing educational infrastructure - including robotics modules, coding software and laser cutters. The aim is to give pupils the tools to learn technical knowledge and creative skills through play.
At the end of 2020, Makeblock expanded its portfolio and entered the field of laser machines. With the xTool project, the product range was expanded so that not only students but also adults can benefit from the solutions. Creativity is not just about developing programming robots - it is also about personalising everyday objects, such as engraving names on mugs or creating works of art from wood.
With the launch of the first product, the xTool D1 in 2021, Jasen started a new chapter in his vision. While the Makeblock success story continues, xTool marks the start of an exciting new episode.
