This is where a model like the F1 Ultra comes into play, as it somewhat transcends these boundaries. It features both Fibre and diode lasers within a single unit, thus allowing for cutting and engraving (as well as embossing, which will be discussed later). Although it doesn’t possess the most expansive working area, it does include some useful accessories that can convert it into a production powerhouse.
But does it fulfill its role as a commercial-level device that can also be utilized by artists for more personal projects? I’ve spent several weeks testing its functionalities, juxtaposing it with my other laser cutters and the numerous models I’ve evaluated, rigorously putting it through its trials.
