The xTool F1 Ultra is a desktop laser engraver that pairs a 20W fiber laser for bare metal with a 20W diode laser for wood, leather, acrylic and coated metals. The bundle adds a conveyor for long workpieces, a smoke purifier and a rotary attachment for cylinders. Its built-in camera auto-focuses and maps shapes onto the material, and the enclosed cabinet keeps the beam contained. It suits small shops and makers who want metal marking and wood engraving in one machine; it is larger and more expensive than single-laser hobby units, and the fiber source is the reason to pick it over a diode-only engraver. Owners rate it highly, with most complaints about setup time and the purifier's noise.

A built-in camera recognizes shapes automatically and fills patterns intelligently. Camera auto-focus lets it engrave directly on curved surfaces, and it supports cylinder engraving. The working space is enlarged without reducing the concentration of laser power.
It engraves at high speed on a wide range of materials, including wood, metal, plastic, acrylic and leather.
