xTool F2 Ultra 60W MOPA and 40W Diode Dual Laser: specs explained

The xTool F2 Ultra Dual is a desktop laser engraver that combines two laser sources in one machine: a 60W MOPA fibre laser for metals and a 40W diode laser for wood, acrylic, leather and similar materials. It is aimed at makers and small businesses that want to engrave, mark and cut both metal and non-metal items without running two machines. Here is what the specifications mean.

What MOPA fibre means

A fibre laser is the usual choice for marking metal. MOPA is a design in which the pulse length and frequency can be adjusted independently, which typically gives finer control over how the laser interacts with the surface. In practice, this is what allows colour marking on stainless steel and titanium, and black marking on aluminum. xTool says the 60W MOPA source delivers over 100 consistent colours on metal, with pre-set colour files for engraving a colour matrix in one click.

What the fibre laser can do

xTool lists 3D embossing, deep engraving, colour engraving and cutting 2 mm metal, including combined processes. It also names black marking on aluminum, laser cleaning and thin metal welding. Metals mentioned are gold, silver, stainless steel, brass and titanium. xTool says the 60W source cuts 3D embossing time by up to 80% compared with 20W fibre lasers.

What the diode laser adds

A diode laser works well on organic and many non-metal materials. The 40W diode source handles wood, acrylic, leather, glass, rubber and fabric, and xTool says it cuts up to 20 mm acrylic and 23 mm wood. Both lasers are Class 4, with 60,000 mW and 40,000 mW outputs.

Cameras and software

Dual 48MP AI cameras are listed with 0.2 mm positioning accuracy, which xTool says is 60% more precise than single-camera systems. The software identifies materials, suggests settings and offers one-click focus and preview. Speeds reach 15,000 mm/s.

Work area and batch production

The working space is 8.7 x 8.7 inches. With the auto conveyor, which is sold as an accessory, xTool says it extends to 8.7 x 19.7 inches for automated batch jobs. The listing gives the machine's dimensions as 16.9 x 11.6 x 20.5 inches.

Who it suits

It suits jewellers, makers of personalised metal and wood goods, and small shops doing custom work. Someone who only works with wood and acrylic would typically be well served by a diode or CO2 laser alone, so the fibre module matters mainly if metal is a regular part of the work.

What to check before you buy

• Materials: confirm the metals and finishes you plan to mark, and test colour results on your own stock.
• Work area: 8.7 x 8.7 inches limits piece size, so check your largest item.
• Accessories: the auto conveyor is an extra. The listing says the box contains the machine and a base material kit.
• Ventilation and eye safety: Class 4 lasers need care. Follow the manual on enclosures, fume extraction and protective gear.
• Welding and cleaning: these functions have their own requirements, so read what the manual says before using them.
• Software: check computer requirements and file formats.
