Diode lasers have come a long way in the last few years, but can they compare with a Co2 laser? In this video I take a look at the xTool D1 Pro 40 watt module and compare it against 40w Co2 lasers.

My old 40 watt Co2 Muse from Full Spectrum Laser is mostly what I use to compare against my 40w diode module from xTool. I have used many brands of both Co2 and diode lasers, and while I reference this 40w module from xTool I speak in general terms to compare the two categories. Most diode lasers with equal optical output perform the same in the category, which is the same for Co2 lasers. It wasn't until recently a 40w diode laser was even on the market because this category has come so far.

What type of materials can you cut and engrave with a diode laser vs a Co2 laser? What are the spot sizes or beam sizes of diodes or Co2 lasers? Is a Co2 laser faster than a diode laser? These are only a few of the questions I answer in this video. I hope this will help people looking to start laser engraving compare the different types of machines.

Thanks to MakeBlock for sending this 40w module to me to test.
