These 2 settings cover engrave and cut Acrylic on the xTool D1 Pro (20W diode laser). Cast acrylic engraves more cleanly than extruded; for cutting, a single clean pass at the right speed usually beats multiple passes. Some settings use multiple passes for a cleaner cut — pin or tape your material flat before running to prevent shift between passes.

Frequently asked questions
What speed should I use to engrave Acrylic on the xTool D1 Pro?
The top-rated community setting uses 3000 mm/min at 35% power. Engrave on the BACK of mirrored acrylic for best results — protects the mirror coating. Design must be mirrored in LightBurn before engraving.
How many passes does the xTool D1 Pro need to cut Acrylic?
Settings here range from 1 to 3 passes. Multiple passes give a cleaner edge but increase the risk of material shift — always pin or tape your material flat before running.
Do I need air assist for Acrylic on the xTool D1 Pro?
Yes — 1 of the 2 settings here specify air assist on. It clears smoke and debris from the cut line, improves edge quality, and reduces fire risk especially during cutting.
What DPI should I use to engrave Acrylic on the xTool D1 Pro?
Settings here use 254 DPI. For photographic detail or fine artwork, consider testing at higher DPI, but expect longer run times.
What software do I use with the xTool D1 Pro for Acrylic?
The xTool D1 Pro works with xTool Creative Space. Enter the speed, power, and passes directly into your software's layer settings — no conversion needed.
