这款桌面工艺机集打印、切割和雕刻功能于一身

xTool’s new M2 can handle a variety of projects and uses two cameras to auto-adjust settings for different materials. xTool 推出的新款 M2 工艺机能够处理多种项目，并利用两颗摄像头自动调整不同材料的加工设置。

xTool has announced a new multi-purpose crafting machine that could potentially be one of the most affordable ways to start an Etsy shop. Its modular design facilitates a CMYK print head that works on multiple materials including paper, wood, and felt. It can later be swapped with laser-based cutting and engraving tools. You can use the M2 to both print and cut stickers, for example, but it’s versatile enough to also be used to etch designs onto metal water bottles. The machine’s upgradeable functionality justifies its footprint, which is much larger than your typical desktop printer. xTool 发布了一款全新的多功能工艺机，这可能是开启 Etsy 网店最经济实惠的方式之一。其模块化设计支持安装 CMYK 打印头，适用于纸张、木材和毛毡等多种材料。该打印头后续可更换为激光切割和雕刻工具。例如，你可以使用 M2 打印并切割贴纸，它功能多样，甚至还能在金属水杯上蚀刻图案。尽管该机器的占地面积比普通桌面打印机大得多，但其可升级的功能性足以弥补这一不足。

The xTool M2 Color Craft Laser, which will be priced at $599, is available starting today, temporarily discounted to $549 for the first week. However, that base price only gets you a version of the machine with a 10W laser diode capable of cutting over 300 thinner materials. If you also want to print, you’ll need the more expensive $749 bundle that includes the CMYK Inkjet Printing Module, which can churn out about 400 pages before a new ink cartridge is needed. For printing and cutting thicker materials, an $1,149 bundle with a 20W laser is needed, while for an extra $499 you can add an infrared laser module that’s even better at engraving metals. xTool M2 彩色工艺激光机定价为 599 美元，即日起发售，首周限时优惠价为 549 美元。不过，该基础价格仅包含配备 10W 激光二极管的版本，可切割 300 多种较薄的材料。如果你还需要打印功能，则需要购买 749 美元的套装，其中包含 CMYK 喷墨打印模块，该模块在更换墨盒前可打印约 400 页。若要打印和切割较厚的材料，则需要 1,149 美元的 20W 激光套装；此外，你还可以额外支付 499 美元添加红外激光模块，该模块在金属雕刻方面表现更为出色。

What really sets the M2 apart from the M1 Ultra, an earlier entry-level version of this crafting machine, is the addition of a 5-megapixel panoramic camera and a 2-megapixel close-up inside the new model. These cameras photograph the material you place inside the machine so you can accurately position designs and cutting patterns using the xTool Studio desktop software. To make the process even easier for novices, the M2 leverages AI to detect the type of materials inserted and automatically adjust the settings for cutting, engraving, or just scoring to make thinner materials easier to flex and fold. M2 与该系列早期入门机型 M1 Ultra 的真正区别在于，新款机型内部增加了一颗 500 万像素的全景摄像头和一颗 200 万像素的近摄摄像头。这些摄像头会拍摄放入机器内的材料，让你能够通过 xTool Studio 桌面软件精确地定位设计图案和切割路径。为了让新手操作更简单，M2 利用人工智能识别所放入的材料类型，并自动调整切割、雕刻或压痕（使较薄材料更易弯曲和折叠）的设置。

More powerful laser cutters often need to be paired with external air pumps and filtration systems. While the M2 has its own integrated air pump, the exhaust is simply pumped out into a room. If you’re regularly doing a lot of cutting, xTool recommends pairing the M2 with an accessory like its SafetyPro AP2 Air Purifier, but at $999 it’s more expensive than the crafting machine itself. 功能更强大的激光切割机通常需要配备外部气泵和过滤系统。虽然 M2 内置了气泵，但废气只是被直接排入室内。如果你经常进行大量切割工作，xTool 建议为 M2 配备 SafetyPro AP2 空气净化器等配件，但该配件售价 999 美元，比机器本身还要贵。
