Materials You Can Cut & Engrave
Whether you’re building an Etsy brand, running a sign shop, or offering custom event décor, the P2S gives you the power to move from prototypes to profitable production — without upgrading to industrial floor equipment.
Why choose the P2S over diode or entry-level CO₂
Camera & LiDAR Precision Workflow
The xTool P2S integrates dual 16MP HD cameras and a LiDAR ranging system to dramatically reduce setup time, alignment errors, and material waste. This is production-focused positioning — not guesswork.
Dual 16MP Camera System
A panoramic camera provides a full-bed preview, while a close-range camera delivers high-detail positioning for smaller items. Instantly drag your design into place with visual confirmation before cutting.
LiDAR Autofocus Accuracy
The integrated LiDAR system measures material distance with high precision and automatically adjusts focus. This ensures consistent cut-through performance across different material thicknesses.
Faster Batch Processing
Automatically scan multiple items in seconds and apply designs with intelligent batch positioning. Ideal for small business production runs and repeat orders.
The result is less trial and error, fewer ruined materials, and more predictable daily output — exactly what growing businesses need from a desktop CO₂ laser system.
Upgrades With The New xTool P2S
xTool P2S vs xTool P2: What’s Upgraded?
Both machines share the same 55W enclosed CO₂ platform and 23.6" × 12" working area. The P2S adds workflow and performance upgrades built for faster daily output, cleaner operation, and easier maintenance.
| Feature | xTool P2S | xTool P2 |
|---|---|---|
| Laser Power | 55W CO₂ | 55W CO₂ |
| Max Working Speed | Up to 600 mm/s | Up to 600 mm/s |
| X-Axis Acceleration | 6400 mm/s² (faster engraving cycles) | 3200 mm/s² |
| Airflow & Exhaust | Upgraded fan + stronger air pump for cleaner workflow | Standard airflow system |
| Maintenance Experience | Optical path indicator + simplified routine cleaning | Standard maintenance access |
| 3D Curve Engraving | Yes (engrave curved surfaces with improved accuracy) | No |
| Batch Workflow | Batch Processing 2.0 (improved multi-item layout) | Standard batch workflow |
Bottom line: If you plan to run this as a daily production tool, the P2S upgrades reduce setup friction and increase throughput. If your work is occasional and you already have a tuned workflow, the P2 platform still delivers the same core 55W CO₂ capability.
Frequently Asked Questions About the xTool P2S
Get clear answers about cutting capacity, materials, setup, and software compatibility before investing in a 55W desktop CO₂ laser system.
What materials can the xTool P2S cut and engrave?
The P2S can cut wood (up to 18mm in one pass), acrylic including clear acrylic (up to 20mm in one pass), leather, rubber, fabric, and many non-metal materials. It can engrave glass and coated metals, but it does not cut metal or glass directly.
Can the xTool P2S cut clear acrylic?
Yes. Unlike diode lasers, the 55W CO₂ laser in the P2S can cut clear acrylic cleanly. This makes it ideal for signage, LED acrylic lamps, layered décor, and business branding applications.
Is the xTool P2S suitable for small business production?
Yes. With up to 600mm/s engraving speed, a 23.6" × 12" working area, dual 16MP cameras, and LiDAR autofocus, the P2S is designed for repeatable daily production rather than hobby-only use.
What ventilation does the P2S require?
The P2S includes an upgraded exhaust system. You should vent the machine to a window or use a compatible air purification system. Proper ventilation ensures cleaner operation and improved workspace safety.
Does the xTool P2S work with LightBurn?
Yes. The P2S supports both xTool Creative Space and LightBurn. It also supports common file formats including SVG, DXF, JPG, PNG, BMP, and more.
How accurate is the autofocus system?
The integrated LiDAR ranging system automatically measures material distance and adjusts focus with high precision. This helps ensure consistent cut-through results across varying material thicknesses.
Is the xTool P2S difficult to set up?
The P2S arrives pre-assembled and includes guided setup instructions. Most users can complete installation and calibration quickly, especially with proper ventilation planned in advance.
