- 1064nm wavelength is specifically designed for metal marking applications
- Integrates seamlessly with existing xTool ecosystem and software
- Precise marking on materials that blue lasers cannot handle effectively
- Expands creative possibilities for jewelry, tools, and metal crafts
What could be better
- Only compatible with specific xTool laser models, not universal
- Significantly more expensive than standard diode laser modules
- Requires proper safety equipment due to infrared laser radiation
- Limited cutting depth compared to CO2 lasers for thick materials
Key features
Who is this for?
Best for
