F2 is a major upgrade over F1.

• Higher laser power: F2 = 15W blue + 5W IR vs F1 = 10W blue + 2W IR
• New high-res camera: Built-in 50MP camera (F1 has none) with autofocusing, precise visual alignment, live preview, one-click auto-fill, and batch processing
• Faster processing: Up to 6000 mm/s (F2) vs up to 4000 mm/s (F1)
• Stronger software features: Curved-surface engraving, relief engraving, batch processing, and autofocus (not available on F1)

For most users—especially business users who want to start earning sooner and enthusiasts who value a smooth experience—F2 is the smarter choice. If you’re a beginner on a tight budget and handy with DIY, F1 remains a solid entry option.
