Xtool D1 Pro Manual

The xTool D1 Pro 20W (FIG. 1) represents a dramatic improvement in the elements that define a state-of-the-art diode laser engraver/cutter.
Having sold more than 50,000 xTool D1 units, this next generation machine incorporates both the features that were lacking in the previous
model, and critical improvements that make it the new standard for the category. xTool has the distinction of being an industry leader in
machine design and attention to user feedback.
The D1 Pro series is available with either a 5W, 10W, or 20W laser module. The 20W module is the most powerful laser on the market, and
provides record-breaking machine specifications that rival those of a CO2 laser!
xTool is the first to use color to distinguish their machines. Users have the option of selecting from the standard metal gray or the new golden
red. While the color of the machine has no affect on its performance, the red frame serves to make an aesthetic statement that laser engraving
fits in a studio as well as in a workshop.

Construction
The xTool D1 Pro, as well as its predecessor, the xTool D1, provides
one of the only complete laser engraving/cutting workflow compo-
nent packages. xTool sells the laser engraver, the honeycomb work-
ing panel, the enclosure, additional risers, the air assist set, and the
extension kit. In addition, it is the first to offer a spare parts kit, as
well as an Extra Care warranty option. The only missing item is a
camera, which users may find unnecessary, and is not supported by
the native software.
The 20W laser is composed of four 5W lasers precision-aligned to
produce a laser spot size of 0.08mm x 0.10mm. The concentrated
laser beam is capable of cutting 10mm basswood, or 8mm black
acrylic in a single pass, with an engraving/cutting accuracy to within
0.004".
xTool rates the laser as "the most powerful diode laser module in
the world." It has the potential to increase working rates two-fold
or more, with an engraving speed of up to 10,000mm/min. All of
this power equates to using significantly more robust materials that
can produce stronger and more durable products, such as furniture.

All of the structural components are made of sturdy materials, preci-
sion manufactured to withstand the rigors of daily use (FIG. 2). The
unit includes a full one-year warranty.
