🔥 What is the difference between the new xTool P3 laser machine and the P2S?

Do you work with laser engraving and cutting and need a faster, more precise, and versatile machine than the P2S? The xTool P3 arrives as the solution: more power, more automation, and more materials.
In this post, we explain why it surpasses the P2S and how it can enhance your production.
xTool P3, designed for professional productivity
The xTool P3 is an 80 W CO₂ laser engraver designed for professional production. Its power, precision, and level of automation allow for high-speed work with various materials: wood, acrylic, cardboard, leather, fabrics, glass, and, with the optional IR laser, even metals and technical plastics.
It is the most advanced version of the xTool CO₂ range, and represents a significant leap compared to previous models such as the P2S, especially in:
- More workspace
- Workflow automation
- Compatibility with materials
- Security and smart control
Differences between xTool P3 and P2S
While the xTool P2S is aimed at creators seeking versatility and creativity, the xTool P3 is designed for entrepreneurs and businesses that need to enhance their productivity without compromising on quality.
Below, we present the main differences:
1. Performance and materials
- Greater power: The P3 includes an 80 W CO₂ laser compared to the 55 W of the P2S. This results in cleaner and deeper cuts in less time.
- Optional 5 W IR Laser: Enables engraving on metals and plastics with precision. The P2S is not compatible with the IR laser.
- Work area: Up to 2.3 times larger. Ideal for large panels or batch jobs.
- Automatic elevation as standard: The Z-axis of the P3 reaches 220 mm with a motorised base, compared to the 215 mm of the P2S with an optional manual lifting base.
- Professional Cooling: The P3's cooling system is more advanced, stable, and quiet.

2. Automation and workflow
- ACS™ System: Automates focus, height, and positioning. Simply place the material and press start.
- Integrated conveyor belt feeder: Automatically changes parts. In the P2S, manual assembly is required.
- Smart RA3 Rotary Accessory: Utilises 3D LiDAR mapping to preview before engraving and supports batch processing. The P2S rotary is manual and only processes individual pieces.

3. Safety and vision
- Class 1 certified: The P3 is a fully enclosed laser machine, safe for shared environments. The P2S is Class 4.
- Integrated CO₂ Fire Suppression System: Standard in the P3. In the P2S, it is an optional accessory.
- Multilayer Vision System: 4 cameras, infrared sensors, temperature detection, and advanced vision algorithm. Enhanced accuracy in positioning and protection.
