xTool X1: What is known so far

New deviceUpdated: 15 Oct 2026Status: Deposit since 12.10.2026, balance payment and shipping start from 29.10.2026

Available now: All data is in the data sheet: xTool X1.

The xTool X1 combines a 55 W CO₂ laser and a Galvo head with a 20 W diode in one machine, and can later be expanded with fibre, MOPA and UV modules. The deposit (€100) has been open since 12 October 2026, and the final payment and shipping begin on 29 October 2026. xTool gave introductory prices of €3,369 (CO₂ only) and €3,959 (with diode Galvo), and plans to announce all configurations and prices when the final payment opens. All data is in the datasheet.

What is known so far

Introduced	28 August 2026 [1]
Laser in the base unit	CO₂ laser 55 W and galvo head with integrated diode laser 20 W [1]
Motion	“Hybrid Motion”: four axes, gantry movement and galvo scanning coordinated (“flying galvo”) [2]
Speed	up to 6,000 mm/s across the whole work area (manufacturer's specification) [1]
Expansion	"Laser Swap": further laser sources as modules, 30 W fibre, 60 W MOPA and 5 W UV have been announced (available separately) [1]
Frame	“UniCast”: three die-cast aluminium frames instead of almost 100 individual parts and 268 screws [2]
Pass-through	“AutoPassthrough” for workpieces up to 299 cm long [3]
Internal glass engraving	with UV module up to 600 x 300 mm in the top 50 mm (refractive index 1.54), according to xTool about 12 times more volume than conventional UV lasers [3]
Deposit	€100, fully refundable as long as the final payment has not yet been made. After that it is credited towards the purchase price. [3]
Prices	According to the product page, xTool will only announce all configurations and prices once the balance payment is possible (from 29.10.2026) [3]

Our take

What is new is the combination: until now, you mostly had to choose. A gantry laser cuts large areas and thick material, while a Galvo laser engraves small areas very quickly. The X1 combines both in one machine. How well this works in everyday use can only be said once independent tests are available.

With 55 W CO₂, the X1 matches the xTool P2S and the Bambu Lab R1 for cutting power. Even the CO₂-only variant costs €3,369 at launch, which is more than both (P2S €2,999, R1 €2,499, each manufacturer's shop as of 08.10.2026). The Galvo head and the expandability only come with the €3,959 variant, and every additional laser module costs €1,979 to €3,169 extra.
