Laser Cutter (xTool F2 Ultra)

Bed Size: 220x220mm

Laser cutting is a technology that uses a laser to cut and engrave materials. The laser beam is controlled by a computer.  Lasers have a minimal kerf and typically have a high cut quality.  This machine has both a MOPA fibre laser and a blue diode laser that can cut or engrave certain metals, plastics, stone and plant products.
