UV Laser Technology
The xTool F2 Ultra UV utilizes a UV laser with a 355 nm wavelength. Unlike traditional lasers that burn materials, this UV laser employs a photochemical reaction to break down materials, resulting in 'cold' engraving. This method allows for clean cuts and engravings on various surfaces.
Material Compatibility and Performance
The F2 Ultra UV engraver produces clean cuts and engravings on wood and plastic, avoiding charring on wood. It can also etch glass and crystal, including the ability to engrave the inside of glass for specialized effects. The device is a galvo laser, meaning its beam is directed by galvanometer mirrors, allowing for speeds up to 15,000 mm/s. It maintains focus across its 200 x 200 mm work area.
Product Positioning and Cost
The xTool F2 Ultra UV is part of a series of xTool lasers, distinguished by its UV laser capabilities. It is priced starting at $4,299. While it cannot cut metal, its versatility with wood, plastic, glass, and crystal makes it suitable for various home and business applications.
