xTool C1 Color Cutter Global Launch
A synchronized desktop workstation uniting micro-blade scoring, direct pigment plotting, and diode contour cuts inside one coordinate frame.
Multi-Process Tool Carriage and Automated Layer Transitions
The xTool C1 consolidates vector marking, drag blade cutting, and full-pigment line drawing into a rigid, enclosed desktop footprint. By using a dual linear rail with precision lead-screw Z indexing, it maintains tool registration within 50 microns across all sequential steps of a multi-layer design.
Instead of transferring delicate media between separate plotters and laser stations, operators load cardboard, vinyl sheets, or wood veneer directly onto the perforated vacuum bed. The carriage alternates between marking pens and cutting heads under coordinated software control.
An integrated surface probe scans stock curvature across nine surface points before initiating any stroke. This dynamic height compensation keeps blade pressure uniform and prevents ink pooling along warped edges or irregular chipboard corners.
The passive extraction channel draws particulate debris away from ink deposition nozzles during blade cuts. This localized airflow prevents contamination of the pigment delivery tip and keeps visual guide markers clear throughout extended production runs.

Pre-Flight Maintenance Sequence
- Inspect blade holder collar and remove dried adhesive or paper lint from the internal micro-bearing.
- Wipe down linear rail surfaces with optical cloth and confirm smooth, uninhibited gantry travel.
- Confirm vacuum suction across perimeter seals to ensure stock lays completely flat before tool movement.
- Execute a short corner test cut to verify tool offset calibration prior to launching batch jobs.
Factory Shipment Inclusions
- xTool C1 base unit with integrated vacuum table and quick-swap magnetic carriage.
- Micro-blade toolhead with three 45-degree and two 60-degree tungsten carbide cutting blades.
- Pigment marker adapter with six primary color fluid cartridges and test art board.
- External regulated 24V power supply, shielded USB-C data cable, and leveling gauge kit.
Coordinated Tooling
Execute drawing, scoring, and cutting passes without losing zero coordinate reference.
Closed-Loop Motors
Integrated encoders maintain step synchronization throughout high-acceleration corners.
Automated Sequence
Layered vector workflows manage tool changes automatically in predictable run orders.
Workshop Certified
Factory burn-in tested with documented mechanical orthogonality reports.
Integration and Software Clarifications
Software maps separate layer colors to discrete hardware tool operations. Stroke layers assigned to marking engage the pen carriage, while perimeter paths trigger the blade mechanism with pre-calculated tool offsets.
