xTool P3 80W Flagship CO2 Laser Cutter with Intelligent Automation
xTool P3 80W Flagship CO2 Laser Cutter with Intelligent Automation
xTool P3 80W CO2 Laser Cutter & Engraver — 36″ × 18″ Work Area, Intelligent Automation
The xTool P3 is xTool's flagship CO2 laser cutter and engraver, built for small businesses and serious hobbyists who need production-level output without industrial floor space. With an 80W CO2 laser, a 36″ × 18″ work area (the largest in xTool's lineup), and speeds up to 1,200 mm/s, the P3 is designed for high-throughput cutting and engraving on wood, acrylic, leather, and more. What separates it from competing CO2 lasers is its ACS™ Smart Workflow — an integrated automation system that handles positioning, focusing, and material ranging automatically, reducing setup time and operator error on every job.
Why the xTool P3 Stands Out
🏭 80W CO2 Laser — Production Power for Small Business
The P3's 80W CO2 laser delivers the cutting depth and speed needed for real production workflows — not occasional hobby use. It offers double the processing efficiency of the xTool P2S, handling thick materials cleanly in fewer passes and running complex jobs faster. CO2 lasers excel on wood, acrylic, leather, fabric, MDF, and most non-metal organics, making the P3 a workhorse for product makers, sign shops, custom goods businesses, and fabrication studios.
📐 36″ × 18″ Work Area — xTool's Largest
At 914 × 457 mm, the P3's work area is 2.3× larger than the P2S — enough to fit full sheets of standard craft material, large signage panels, or multiple items in a single batch. For jobs that exceed even this, the optional conveyor feeder enables pass-through engraving on oversized or continuous-feed material.
🤖 ACS™ Smart Workflow — Full Automation from Load to Laser
The P3's exclusive ACS™ (Auto-Control System) Smart Workflow integrates four automation features into a single seamless process:
- Auto-Positioning — automatically places the laser at the correct start point
- Autofocus — adjusts z-height for perfect focus on any material thickness
- Auto LiDAR Ranging — scans material surface for accurate depth measurement
- Auto-Lifting Base — raises and lowers the bed automatically to accommodate different material heights
Together these eliminate the manual setup steps that slow down batch production and cause repeatability errors across jobs.
📷 4-Camera Vision System — Alignment & Safety Monitoring
Four built-in cameras serve dual purposes: precise material positioning (place designs visually on your workpiece before cutting) and complete safety monitoring of the work area during operation. The camera system supports 3D previews with the RA3 rotary attachment and full-scale previews with the conveyor accessory, so you can verify layout before committing to a cut.
⚡ 1,200 mm/s Speed with Fast Acceleration
At 1,200 mm/s with rapid acceleration, the P3 moves through engraving jobs quickly without sacrificing edge quality. Combined with the large work area, this makes batch engraving of multiple items per run practical for small-business production schedules.
🔒 Fully Enclosed Professional Safety Design
The P3 is built as a fully enclosed laser system with a protective lid and safety interlocks — designed for repeated daily use in workshop or studio environments. Safety monitoring via the 4-camera system adds an additional layer of oversight during unattended or extended runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the xTool P3 compare to the xTool P2S? The P3 offers a 2.3× larger work area (36″ × 18″ vs. the P2S's smaller bed), double the processing efficiency, and adds the ACS™ Smart Workflow automation system with Auto-Positioning, Autofocus, Auto LiDAR Ranging, and an Auto-Lifting Base. The 4-camera vision system is also new. For businesses that have outgrown the P2S or need automation to reduce manual setup time, the P3 is the direct upgrade.
What materials can the xTool P3 cut and engrave? The 80W CO2 laser excels on wood, plywood, MDF, acrylic, leather, fabric, paper, bamboo, and most organic non-metal materials. It can also engrave coated metals, glass, stone, and ceramic. CO2 lasers cannot mark bare metal — for metal engraving, xTool's F1 Ultra or F2 Ultra are the appropriate machines.
What is ACS™ Smart Workflow? ACS™ is xTool's proprietary automation system exclusive to the P3. It combines Auto-Positioning, Autofocus, Auto LiDAR Ranging, and an Auto-Lifting Base to handle material setup automatically — reducing the manual steps between loading a material and starting a job.
Can the P3 handle oversized materials? Yes. The optional conveyor feeder accessory enables pass-through engraving on materials longer than the 36″ work area, supporting continuous or oversized piece production.
Does the P3 support rotary engraving for tumblers? Yes. The RA3 rotary attachment is compatible with the P3 and enables 3D rotary engraving on cylinders, tumblers, rings, and other curved objects. The camera system supports 3D previews when using the RA3.
Is the xTool P3 safe for a home workshop or small studio? Yes. The fully enclosed design contains laser emissions and fumes during normal operation, and the 4-camera monitoring system provides continuous visual oversight. For extended cutting sessions, pairing with an external air filtration unit is recommended.
