The xTool F1 Ultra (UV) is a 2W uv laser engraver and works with xTool Creative Space, LightBurn. This page lists 12 community-tested settings covering speed, power, passes, air assist, and DPI across a range of materials. Always run a test cut on scrap material first — results vary depending on your material batch, focus, and ambient conditions.
The xTool F1 Ultra (UV) uses a 355nm UV laser which marks glass, ceramics, stone, and most plastics cold — meaning no heat damage, no coating required. UV lasers are photochemical rather than thermal, so they leave extremely fine, high-contrast marks on materials that normal diode or CO₂ lasers struggle with. The F1 Ultra UV is used for marking wine glasses, coffee mugs, phone cases, and acrylic without leaving burn discolouration. It pairs well with the fiber module for a single machine that covers both metal and non-metal marking.
