We built X1 because makers kept hitting the same walls. Large panels that don’t fit, Diode lasers that slow down over distance, CO₂ systems that demand constant upkeep…

And every time you switch between wood, metal, and plastics—you switch machines, jigs, and your whole workflow. ACMER X1 fixes that. It’s a fully enclosed, 4.98′ x 9.12′ studio-ready platform that unites a 120W water-cooled diode laser, a 4W IR laser, and a 200W CNC router—so you can cut, engrave, mark, and machine on one bed, with AI-assisted workflow and 24/7 stable output.

Why settle for one process when your work needs more?

The X1 120W diode laser delivers ultra-fast cuts and deep passes on wood, plastics and composites; the 4W IR module produces crisp, high-contrast marks on metals and ceramics; the 200W CNC head adds slots, pockets, chamfers and 3D relief that lasers can’t.

One platform, one workflow—cut, engrave, mark and machine without moving your project.

ACMER X1 boasts a 1250 x 2450mm work area that fully supports standard 4′ × 8′ panels used across US and EU markets for true full-sheet processing.

Built around a reinforced Y-axis frame with weight-optimized profiles, X1 holds consistent precision across long travel—even under 120W head loads and full-sheet motion. Whether you’re producing furniture panels, signage, or large prototypes, the chassis suppresses racking and vibration, allowing higher acceleration, cleaner edges, and lower cost per part.

Not every job needs a full sheet. The X1’s 400 × 400 mm Smart Vision Zone uses an integrated HD camera to map the workspace, recognize edges/jigs, and keep perspective true—so setup becomes a click, not a chore.
Inside this zone, ACMER Studio™ unlocks camera-powered workflows:

Tighter diodes, Smarter optics. Only emitters within our optimal angular range make them into the X1 head. On that foundation, a multi-stage beam-shaping stack compresses the energy into a smaller, more usable spot.

One-pass matters. X1 pushes boundaries with a true 120W output from a diode laser, powered by an integrated array of high-performance diodes.

Speed also matters. The motion system reaches up to 30,000 mm/min, and the reinforced gantry keeps accuracy over long runs.

A dedicated sensor suite watches the entire cooling loop and the room climate to prevent condensation, stabilize output, and protect optics and electronics.

IntelliCool™ water cooling system employs dry-break, auto-locking couplers isolate coolant automatically when disconnected.

Switch between 20 W / 60 W / 120 W without changing hardware. Dial in the spot, balance detail vs. throughput.

Why pick one when you can ship more? X1 unifies a 120W blue diode, a 4W IR engraver, and the Chisel™ CNC module into a studio-ready system.

Heads swap in 20 seconds with auto recognition and leak-proof coupler. You can move from cutting to metal marking to 3D relief without re-rigging your shop.

Upgrade to 4W power for bolder, sharper results that bring out richer tones and crisper lines in every material. Get ready to unlock possibilities that go far beyond just metalworking.

Lasers excel at 2.5D. X1 Chisel™ CNC makes it 3D. With a 200W spindle combined with diode and infrared laser module, you can cut, engrave, mark, and machine on one bed within single workflow.

As a dedicated control software developed by ACMER, ACMER Studio™ is designed for 120W power and an industrial-size bed and completely subscription-free, saving you $120 annually on software licenses and other subscription fees.With its intuitive interface and streamlined workflow, even beginners can get up to speed faster—cutting training time in half.
