Precision meets creativity
For a long time, CO₂ laser engraving machines were considered devices for industry and professionals – large, expensive, and complicated. With the xTool P2S 55 W, this image changes fundamentally. It brings industrial performance values into a compact, home-friendly format and opens the world of laser cutting and engraving equally to makers, designers, and small workshops.
So anyone who previously thought a powerful CO₂ laser was only interesting for large companies will be surprised by the P2S: it combines precision, speed, and user-friendliness in a form truly made "for everyone."
Why CO₂ lasers are so relevant
In the age of rapid prototyping and custom manufacturing, the demand for machines that process materials flexibly, cleanly, and precisely is increasing. CO₂ lasers have delivered top performance here for years – cutting and engraving organic materials like wood, leather, or acrylic with incredible detail.
What makes the xTool P2S particularly exciting: it combines this industrial technology with the intelligence of modern sensors, automatic focus measurement, and software that guides even beginners straight to their goal. This makes the CO₂ laser a true everyday tool – not just for professionals, but for everyone who wants to turn ideas into tangible projects.
Overview of the xTool P2S 55 W
The P2S is the new, advanced version of the proven xTool P2, designed especially for efficiency and user comfort. Both models use the same 55 W CO₂ laser, but differ in details that make a difference in everyday use.
Technical comparison table
| Feature | xTool P2S 55 W | xTool P2 55 W |
|---|---|---|
| Laser type | 55 W CO₂ laser | 55 W CO₂ laser |
| Working area | 600 × 305 mm | 600 × 305 mm |
| Max. speed | 600 mm/s, 6400 mm/s² accel. | 600 mm/s, 3200 mm/s² accel. |
| Max. cutting thickness (wood) | 18 mm in one pass | 18 mm in one pass |
| Max. cutting thickness (acrylic) | 20 mm in one pass | 20 mm in one pass |
| Max. processing height | 215 mm (with base) | 215 mm (with base) |
| Camera system | Dual 16-MP camera | Dual 16-MP camera |
| Focus & measurement | LiDAR sensor + autofocus | LiDAR sensor + autofocus |
| Software Compatibility | xTool Creative Space / LightBurn | xTool Creative Space / LightBurn |
| Motion accuracy | 0.015 mm | 0.015 mm |
| Special feature | New mechanics with higher acceleration | Standard mechanics |
At first glance, both machines look very similar. But the revised motion unit and optimized control of the P2S ensure noticeably smoother workflows, faster processes, and higher repeat accuracy – an advantage that is especially noticeable in series engravings.
Powerful down to the details
The xTool P2S delivers everything you expect from a professional CO₂ laser – and a little more.
1. High cutting performance:
With 55 W laser power, the P2S cuts up to 18 mm wood or 20 mm acrylic in one pass. This enables not only precise individual pieces but also efficient production of small series.
2. Dual-camera system:
Two 16 MP cameras (panorama and close-up) ensure exact positioning. This allows engravings to be placed with millimeter precision – even on complex workpieces.
3. LiDAR distance sensor and autofocus:
Automatic focus measurement reduces operator errors and saves time. The laser self-adjusts – perfect for varying material thicknesses.
4. Safety standard Class 4:
Despite its power, the P2S remains usable in private settings. The enclosed housing, sensor monitoring, and an emergency stop switch provide industrial-level safety.
5. Software integration:
Compatible with xTool Creative Space and LightBurn, the P2S works on Windows, macOS, and mobile (Android / iPad). This allows projects to be implemented seamlessly from design to production.
Applications that inspire
A laser like the P2S is not a niche tool – it opens creative possibilities in a wide range of fields:
-
Product design & prototyping: fast testing of shapes and materials.
-
Personalization and engraving: decorate glass, metal, or leather with individual motifs.
-
Model making & crafts: finest contours and precise fits.
-
Small series & start-ups: efficient manufacturing without tooling costs.
-
Education & Research: illustrative material experiments and design workshops.
Especially for maker spaces, design studios, or teaching labs, the P2S is exciting because it combines productivity, safety, and user-friendliness in one device – without the price or space requirements of an industrial system.
Workflow that inspires
From design to finished object: The P2S workflow shows how thoughtful modern laser manufacturing can be.
-
Design phase: Files in SVG, DXF, or PNG format are imported directly.
-
Material detection: LiDAR sensor and camera automatically measure material height and position.
-
Preview: The smart camera preview shows the workpiece live – misplacements are a thing of the past.
-
Processing: With up to 600 mm/s and 6400 mm/s² acceleration, engravings and cuts are made in record time.
-
Post-processing: Thanks to precise edges and clean cut lines, sanding or deburring is often unnecessary.
If desired, the P2S can be combined with accessories like the Riser Base Kit (for taller workpieces) or the rotary attachment to engrave cylindrical objects. This modularity makes it a complete workbench for creative applications.
Suitable for everyday use and quiet
Despite its power, the P2S remains remarkably pleasant to operate. The enclosed housing dampens noise, and the integrated extraction control ensures clean air in the workspace. The device is pre-assembled, ready to use within minutes – just plug in, start the software, and get going.
This makes the xTool P2S the ideal tool for workshops, studios, or hobby rooms where precision and safety go hand in hand.
Conclusion: Industrial standard you can touch
The xTool P2S 55 W symbolizes the transformation in the laser segment. What was once reserved for large companies is now – thanks to intelligent sensors, simple software, and well-thought-out safety concepts – also achievable for individual users.
Those looking for a powerful CO₂ laser for wood, acrylic, leather, or glass will find in the P2S a combination of industrial precision, creative potential, and true reliability.
