xTool has previewed the X1, a modular laser platform intended to pair a 55-watt CO2 system with a 20-watt diode galvo and support additional laser technologies through interchangeable modules. The claimed appeal is a faster galvo-style workflow combined with a larger work area than many compact galvo machines.
This matters because the H2D Pro already provides a capable 40-watt laser. A new machine would need to deliver something the Bambu cannot: a material category, a substantial speed improvement, or a workflow that saves enough time to justify another footprint. UV and fiber modules can be interesting for engraving materials that a diode or CO2 laser handles differently, but actual compatibility and quality need independent confirmation.
Pricing and complete availability were not established in the announcement reviewed here. The useful move is to keep a comparison table of material, thickness, engraving speed, safety enclosure and software export—not to preorder on a marketing demonstration.
Watch for actual X1 pricing and independent material tests; compare the capabilities against the Bambu laser before adding another machine.
