Process a large material
1. Select the processing mode and material name
(1) On the right side of the page, click the name of the current processing mode, then select Use conveyor-large.
(2) Click Unknown Material, select the desired material, and click Apply.
The recommended parameter settings can achieve the best results only when using xTool's materials. If you are using materials from third parties, it is recommended that you conduct a material test array on your own first to obtain the desired effects and parameters. Meanwhile, ensure that the materials are free from moisture or contamination, which may greatly affect the results.
2. Place the material and perform laser focusing
(1) Place the material on the right side of the conveyor, allowing the blue light spot to fall on the surface of the material.
(2) Hold down on the Up/Down button for laser module to lift or lower the laser module. When the red and blue light spots overlap to form a purple spot, the focus is successfully set.
If you need to process the whole material, you can move the material to the right of the middle line after you finish focusing.
3. Shoot background and design processing objects
(1) On the right side of xTool Studio, click the Refresh background icon.
xTool Studio takes a photo of xTool F1 Ultra’s processing area and inserts the photo as the canvas background. You can position processing objects based on the background.
(2) Use the tools to the left of the canvas to create objects on the canvas. You can import images, insert shapes, enter text, draw vector graphics, and so on.
(3) Select the objects to further edit them using the tools on the top of the canvas.
4. Set the processing parameters and processing path
(1) Select objects on the canvas. On the right side of xTool Studio, set parameters for the selected objects.
- You need to set parameters for every object. A missed object may fail to be processed.
- The conveyor supports only laser engraving on the material.
(2) In the bottom-right corner, click the icon 
to set the processing path.
Evade smoke: When this feature is enabled, the device follows a path less affected by the smoke to process the material.
5. Preview the processing area
(1) Click the 
icon next to the Framing button to set the framing parameters.
(2) Click 
. The laser dots will move along the boundary of the processing objects on the material so that you can preview the processing area.
To stop framing, click the same button.
6. Start processing
(1) In the bottom-right corner, click Process.
(2) Preview the processing pattern and path.
In the bottom-left corner, click the
button, and xTool Studio will show the processing path.
(3) Wear a pair of goggles that can shield laser beams of 455 nm and 1064 nm wavelengths.
When xTool F1 Ultra is used with a conveyor, its protective enclosure cannot be fully closed. For your safety, it is recommended that you wear goggles during processing.
Safety goggles are not included with xTool F1 Ultra or the conveyor. Please purchase them separately.
(4) Close the protective enclosure. In the bottom right corner, click Start. When the software shows Ready, press the XTOOL Start/Stop button on the touchscreen controller to start processing.
