Laser Swap™Shipment confirmed September 1, 2026TBD · Retail configurations and module mapping
The confirmed foundation is 55W CO₂. Built-in versus optional remains unresolved. Supported upgrade paths; retail inclusion remains TBD. Package names, module inclusion, and availability remain unpublished. Price, exact on-sale date, ordering, shipping, and delivery remain unpublished.
xTool now gives an October release window, but price, retail packages, the exact on-sale date, preorder or order timing, shipping, and delivery remain unpublished. xTool has identified the 55W CO₂ head and three supported Laser Swap upgrade powers, but the complete included-versus-optional matrix, package names, changeover details, and launch availability are still missing. The confirmed platform uses 55W CO₂. 20W diode: Built-in versus optional remains unresolved. xTool lists 30W Fiber · 60W MOPA · 5W UV as supported upgrade paths; this page separates those supported paths from retail packages and calculates complete installed cost when official prices arrive.
Choose the lasers your work actually needs. Add the rest only when the work demands it.
X1 becomes compelling when one deliberate package replaces real equipment sprawl. It becomes expensive clutter if a buyer pays for modules that never earn a place in the work.

Mixed-material shops considering the supported MOPA path. Built-in versus optional remains unresolved. Package names, module inclusion, and availability remain unpublished.
Put it beside
Compare directly with F2/F2 Ultra for a focused metal-and-detail station, then count the CO₂ machine and workshop space needed beside it.
Put the power in context
See where each X1 laser sits.
Choose the laser source you are evaluating. The comparison stays inside that laser family so a 5W UV source is never treated as weaker than a 55W CO₂ source simply because the number is smaller.
Power is the opening fact—not the final verdict.
Rated watts do not tell you the work area, beam behavior, motion speed, cooling, cameras, focusing, material handling, software, or complete workflow. Use these bars to find the right machines to compare next.
Every X1 · CO₂ foundation
55W puts X1 beside several established desktop CO₂ machines.
Compare X1’s published 55W CO₂ rating directly with each machine’s current published output. The useful next comparison is work area, motion speed, material handling, software, cooling, and complete price.

P2 / P2S
A dedicated desktop CO₂ workflow inside the xTool ecosystem.
X1’s supported 5W UV source enters a market with proven dedicated options.
At rated output, X1’s supported 5W UV module sits directly beside the 5W xTool F2 Ultra UV and the 5W ComMarker Omni 1. ComMarker also sells a 10W Omni 1 configuration. The bigger decision is whether UV should live inside a broader X1 workshop center or in a dedicated UV station that can run independently.

F2 Ultra UV
A dedicated xTool UV galvo station with a published 200 × 200 mm surface engraving area.
The X1 path uses 60W MOPA support; the current comparison set includes xTool F2 Ultra, OMTech’s 60W MOPA marker, and ComMarker’s B6 60W MOPA configuration. That makes wattage the opening fact—not the verdict. Work area, cameras, focus, enclosure, batch handling, software, pulse control, and whether a dedicated machine can keep working while X1 handles another job become decisive.

F2 Ultra
A focused xTool MOPA station sold in single-source and dual-source configurations.
The same final X1 configuration can be sensible for one shop and wasteful for another. These four lanes expose the difference.
01
Wood, acrylic, signs, and larger CO₂ projects
Does the core X1 package cover the size, power, handling, and repeat work your catalog needs?
02
Metal personalization and fine-detail products
Does the MOPA path deliver the quality, color control, placement, and repeatability that justify using X1 as the center?
03
A catalog that changes across materials
Will modules remove enough equipment, setup, and software handoffs to protect the space they promise to save?
04
Production where two jobs must run at once
Can one modular center keep up, or would consolidation create a throughput and downtime bottleneck?
Price is one line. Complete cost is the decision.
xTool now gives an October release window, but price, retail packages, the exact on-sale date, preorder or order timing, shipping, and delivery remain unpublished. When xTool publishes the retail numbers, use all six parts below: a low machine price can hide an expensive setup, while a higher package price may include enough capability to replace equipment you would otherwise buy separately.
01
Retail package
Machine, included sources, included modules, warranty, service, and launch offer.
02
Required expansion
The modules needed for your actual work—not every module shown in the platform story.
03
Workshop setup
Ventilation, utilities, clearances, fixtures, conveyors, filtration, storage, and handling.
04
Operating cost
Consumables, maintenance, replacement parts, support time, and failed-work allowance.
05
Equipment displaced
Subtract only the machines and handoffs X1 can realistically replace in your shop.
06
Throughput and risk
Count parallel capacity, changeover time, and the cost of one platform becoming a single point of failure.
What to look for on launch day
Match each bundle to the work, the space, and the machines it could replace.
