Cutting and Engraving Laser Heads - Quick Comparison
XF+ is the best laser head to learn laser engraving and cutting. Can be upgraded to the XT-50 laser head in the future, and consumes a maximum of 30 W of electrical power. Go for the XF+ laser head if you desire to:
- Laser engrave in Standard+ definition (80 DPI)
- Laser cut thicker materials above 8 mm thickness
- Laser mark stainless steel and Titanium
- Be able to rotate the focusing lens, changing the working distance as well as the focused beam spot size and consequently resolution (40-160 DPI)
- Laser cut foams up to 40 mm thick
- Minimize your electrical power consumption and/or carbon footprint while using a professional industrial-grade laser head
XT-50 is the most precise 6W high-power laser head for CNC machines on the market. It consumes a maximum of 30 W of electrical power. Go for XT-50 if you desire to:
- Laser engrave in Ultra HD definition (550 DPI)
- Laser cut thin materials up to 6-8 mm thick, especially leather and textiles
- Laser engrave, not just mark, stainless steel, carbon steel and Titanium
- Laser engrave with an adjustable-size square beam spot
- Laser engrave small text or design 1 mm in size
- Use this laser head for testing the accuracy of your CNC machine(s) or, if you are a CNC machine-producing company, for your CNC machines’ accuracy prototyping.
- Use this laser head for optical tweezers
- Minimize your electrical power consumption and/or carbon footprint while using a professional industrial-grade laser head
PLH3D-15W is our 3-laser-diodes laser head for CNC machines with built-in Air Assist Nozzle and a maximum power consumption of 85 W. Go for PLH3D-15W if you desire to:

- Laser cut thin materials up to 6-8 mm thick, especially wood, leather and textiles
- Laser engrave, not just mark, stainless steel, carbon steel and Titanium
- Quickly laser engrave with a single thick curve or line
- Quickly laser cut foams up to 20 mm thick
- Laser engrave and cut thermoplastics at a faster pace
- Minimize your electrical power consumption and/or carbon footprint while using a professional industrial-grade laser head
The PLH3D-6W-ZMorph laser head is a redesigned version of our 6 W XF laser head, adapted for smooth integration with the Zmorph 3D printer. With this laser head, you can now use the advantages of our high power and performance 6 W laser head on your Z-Morph FAB and VX 3D printers. Go for the Zmorph laser head if you want to:
- Perform laser engraving and cutting on your Z-Moph Fab or Zmorph VX 3D printer
- Laser engrave in Standard+ definition (80 DPI)
- Laser cut thicker materials above 8 mm thickness
- Laser mark stainless steel and Titanium
- Laser cut foams up to 40 mm thick
XT-10 is the most precise laser head on the market overall. It has a lower 0.5 W power than our XT-50 laser head (6 W), but XT-10 can laser engrave and cut with an even higher resolution of >2500 DPI. It also only consumes a maximum of 15 W of electrical power. Go for XT-10 if you want to:
- Laser engrave in Ultra HD definition (>2500 DPI) with a 10 µm wide square focused beam spot
- Laser cut thin materials up to 6-8 mm thick, especially leather and textiles
- Laser engrave with an adjustable-size square beam spot
- Laser engrave ultra-fine texts or designs less than 1 mm in size; XT-10 can even be used to engrave 0.2 mm high text on a grain of rice!
- Use this laser head for testing the accuracy of your CNC machine(s) or, if you are a CNC machine-producing company, for your CNC machines’ accuracy prototyping.
- Use this laser head for optical tweezers
PLH3D-6W-LC is a liquid-cooled version of the XF laser head. Compared to the XF+ laser head, the LC version offers a lower maximum power consumption of 24 W, while XF+ consumes a maximum of 30 W. In addition, as a result of being water-cooled and not having a cooling fan, it does not produce 58 dB of background sound like XF+ laser head does. Go for the LC laser head if you want to:
- Laser engrave in Standard+ definition (80 DPI)
- Laser cut thicker materials above 8 mm thickness
- Laser mark stainless steel and Titanium
- Be able to rotate the focusing lens, changing the working distance as well as the focused beam spot size and consequently resolution (40-160 DPI)
- Laser cut foams up to 40 mm thick
- Work in a very quiet environment
- Fully minimize your electrical power consumption and/or carbon footprint while using an industrial-grade laser head
PLH3D-2W laser head is our budget-friendly laser head for hobby applications. It has a maximum electrical power consumption of 16 W. Go for our 2W laser head if you want to:
- Get a laser head for strictly hobby applications or low-throughput hobby use
- Laser engrave in Full HD+ definition (200 DPI)
- Laser cut thicker materials up to approximately 8-12 mm thickness
- Be able to rotate the focusing lens, changing the working distance as well as the focused beam spot size and consequently resolution
