xTool D1 Pro 20W 2.0 Laser Cutter and Engraver

The xTool D1 Pro 20W 2.0 is one of the most powerful cutting / engraving diode laser machines in the market. This DIY kit featuring an aluminum robust open-frame construction and stainless steel rollers and linear rails is easily assembled thanks to the detailed instructions. The D1 Pro 20W is equipped with a laser module comprising four 5W diode lasers focused on the same spot, which provides the incredible output laser power of 20W. A 10-mm basswood or an 8-mm acrylic plate can be cut through in one pass.

Compared to the original version, the 2.0 model features the addition of an emergency stop switch to make the machine more safety compliant, with no other functional iterations. However, the manufacturer has introduced a few optional add-ons covering even more safety and usability aspects than before. For more information, check out the Add-ons section below.

The machine features a lightning-fast maximum speed of 400 mm/s yet providing high accuracy of up to 0.004 in. Four limit switches on both axes prevent the laser head from hitting the frame and allow setting the machine’s home position and working with absolute coordinates. To ensure safe operation, the D1 Pro 2.0 is equipped with a flame detector and a shake sensor. You can also buy an optional enclosure, dedicated smoke purifier, or special fire safety set for additional protection.

There are a lot of possible applications for the D1 Pro 2.0 limited only by your imagination.

The D1 Pro series also includes the 10W version of the model that differs slightly in terms of its performance characteristics. For better efficiency and higher cutting requirements, the manufacturer recommends using the 20W version; as for the 10W one, it fits those pursuing fineness and engraving precision. The basic differences between two versions are presented in the table below.

Compatible materials

The xTool D1 Pro 2.0 can work with a wide range of materials. The machine can be used to cut most kinds of wood, including plywood and composite, paper and cardboard, cork, acrylic, leather, and others. All these materials can be engraved as well. Besides, the D1 Pro 2.0 can engrave coated metals, stainless steel, plastic, marble, stone, ceramic tiles, glass, and more. You can find the optimal material settings on the manufacturer’s website.

The D1 Pro 20W 2.0 has a capability of color engraving on metals like stainless steel due to oxidizing of the metal surface by a powerful laser beam. The particular color depends on the engraving settings.

Working area

The working area of 430 x 390 mm allows you to implement large-scale design projects or to engrave multiple smaller patterns at a time which can be extremely helpful for small businesses.

The maximum workpiece height of 50 mm can be increased with the use of optional risers. Each riser set adds 45 mm to the maximum height.

Machine controls

On the right side of the machine frame there is a power and a USB port and a power switch. On top of the front panel you will find a start / stop button and a light status indicator.

The machine is equipped with an easy and convenient focus adjustment mechanism using the lever on the laser module. Besides, you can further lower the laser head when cutting thick materials to achieve the optimal focal length and the maximum cutting capacity of the laser.

The machine can be connected to the PC using Wi-Fi or USB. It is also equipped with a TF card slot.

Software

The xTool D1 Pro 2.0 comes with the proprietary xTool Creative Space software. This free software is user-friendly, functional, and allows for firmware updates. xTool Creative Space is compatible with Windows, macOS, and iPadOS.

Those looking for enhanced functionality can use the third-party LightBurn engraving software which is more powerful and supports more file formats, such as AI, SVG, DXF, PDF, HPGL, and PLT for vector files and PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, TGA, and GIF for raster images. LightBurn is a paid software but it offers a free trial period. It is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Smoke Purifier

The xTool Smoke Purifier is compatible with the D1 Pro 2.0 equipped with an optional enclosure. The device is connected to the machine and features a large, 250 x 195 x 390 mm, filter with three-stage filtration including activated carbon and HEPA filters. It efficiently absorbs dust particles, toxic fumes, and unpleasant odors, allows adjusting the suction power, and works very quietly, with the noise level not exceeding 55 dB.

xTool Fire Safety Set

As the world’s first fully automated fire safety system for desktop laser cutters, this add-on boasts such capabilities as auto flame detection, alarm triggering, power cut, and fire extinguishing. All these features effectively minimize the possibility of fire accidents caused by the laser of the machine.

By using 5 fire detection sensors and integrated algorithms of light, temperature, and position inside an enclosed laser cutter, the xTool Fire Safety system is sensitive to any possible dangers. Immediately after detecting fire, it will automatically trigger the alarm, shut down the working laser in a few seconds, and automatically release the CO2 gas into the enclosed space to quench the fire with non-toxic and odorless fumes, thus preventing the machine from further damage.

Please note that this product must be used in an enclosed space. Namely, for the xTool D1 series, the system needs to be used with the xTool Enclosure.
