Fiber Laser FAQs

What is the difference between fiber laser and CO2 laser?

Fiber lasers and CO2 lasers differ mainly in their operational wavelengths and applications. Fiber lasers operate at shorter wavelengths (around 1.06 micrometers) and are highly effective for cutting metals and hard materials due to their high beam intensity.

CO2 lasers, on the other hand, operate at longer wavelengths (10.6 micrometers) and are better suited for cutting and engraving non-metallic materials like wood, acrylic, and fabric. Additionally, fiber lasers tend to have higher electrical efficiency and require less maintenance compared to CO2 lasers.

What materials can fiber laser not cut?

Fiber lasers are highly effective for cutting metals and hard materials, but they have limitations when it comes to certain materials. They generally cannot cut transparent materials such as clear glass or acrylic, as the laser beam passes through without being absorbed.
 
Additionally, fiber lasers are not ideal for cutting organic materials like wood or leather, which are better suited for CO2 lasers. Some reflective metals, like copper and brass, can also be challenging for fiber lasers without specialized setups to manage reflections.
 
But since F1 Ultra is a 2-in-1 machine with both 20w diode and fiber lasers, engraving or cutting wood is not a problem any more.
 

xTool F1 or F1 Ultra, which one should I buy?

The xTool F1 Ultra is a major upgrade that users have eagerly anticipated. Its enhanced performance features make it a compelling choice. However, first-time buyers should consider their specific use case when making a decision.

If you're looking for a portable, handheld device for simple cutting and engraving tasks, the xTool F1 is an affordable option to start your crafting journey. But if your work nature requires cutting metal sheets, deeper engravings, and slightly larger projects, the xTool F1 Ultra offers the best value for money.

Can xTool F1 Ultra cut metal like other fiber laser engravers?

F1 Ultra can deeply engrave, emboss and even cut metal. F1 ultra can cut 0.4mm brass, 0.3mm stainless steel and 0.2mm aluminum sheet.

Is xTool F1 Ultra the true fiber laser?

F1 ultra is a dual laser. It has 20W fiber and 20W galvo blue diode laser. F1 Ultra can engrave Almost ALL Common Materials in daily life. Diode lasers perform best on wood, acrylic, leather, slate, glass, ceramic, etc., while fiber lasers can engrave clearly on all-metals (stainless steel, aluminum, gold, silver, iron, platinum) and plastic.

And yes, F1 Ultra is a true fiber. The F1 Ultra uses an IR (infrared laser) as its laser source, while the fiber (diode-pumped fiber laser) serves as the gain medium. Both are essential components for generating laser light.

Each laser light is produced when the laser source strikes the gain medium, which then amplifies the intensity of the laser beam. Unlike the S1 & F1 models and other common IR lasers on the market that use DPSS (diode-pumped solid-state laser) as the gain medium, the F1 Ultra leverages a fiber gain medium to maximize laser power. This results in deeper engraving and cutting at the same power level.

Can fiber laser engrave gold?

Yes, fiber lasers can engrave gold. Fiber lasers are highly effective for engraving metals, including precious metals like gold, due to their precise and concentrated beam. They can create detailed engravings on gold without damaging the material. Fiber lasers are commonly used for jewelry customization, serial numbering, and fine designs on gold objects.
