Industry's Smallest 2-in-1 Fiber + Diode Laser
LaserPecker describes the LP5 as the industry's smallest 2-in-1 laser engraver combining 20W fiber and 20W diode sources — and that claim holds up under comparison. Most machines pairing these two laser types at this wattage are desktop units weighing 15–22kg. The LP5's laser head comes in at 3.36kg, total system weight at 6.02kg.
The design is built around the electric stand system: the laser head mounts onto a motorized arm that raises and lowers for focusing, eliminating manual height adjustment. The conical protective cover attaches underneath the head and filters harmful laser output during open-mode operation. The Safety Enclosure (sold separately) upgrades the setup to camera-assisted positioning and Class 1 safety certification.
What Is the LaserPecker LP5?
The LaserPecker LP5 is the company's flagship dual-laser engraver for 2025–2026 — a direct successor to the LP4 that replaces the LP4's 2W infrared DPSS laser with a true 20W fiber laser, doubles the diode to 20W, and dramatically increases maximum engraving speed from 4,000mm/s to 10,000mm/s. The result is a machine capable of professional-grade metal work — deep engraving, 3D grayscale embossing, thin metal cutting — in a form factor comparable to a portable label printer.
Unlike many portable laser engravers that use galvo systems in fixed enclosures, the LP5 uses an open galvo-on-stand architecture — the laser head sits on top of an electric motorized arm, projects downward through the conical cover onto the material below, and uses two red dot alignment points for focusing. This design allows the system to engrave on irregular surfaces, large objects (up to 137mm processing height), and cylindrical items with the rotary extension (up to 200mm diameter).
Software is a genuine strength: the LaserPecker Design Space (LDS) app runs on iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS, offering a clean interface with built-in material presets, 3D grayscale mode, variable text for serial production, and color engraving parameter sets. LightBurn is also fully supported for users who prefer professional workflow control. The system connects via USB-C, Wi-Fi (2.4GHz), or Bluetooth.

20W Fiber Laser — Deep Metal Engraving, Embossing & Cutting
The LP5's 20W 1064nm fiber laser is the machine's defining capability. Unlike the 2W DPSS infrared lasers in the LP4, xTool F1, and Sculpfun G9 — which surface-mark metals but cannot reach meaningful depth — the LP5's fiber laser delivers 10× the power and can deep engrave, emboss 3D relief, and cut 1mm stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and titanium.
Color engraving on stainless steel works via controlled oxidation: the fiber laser heats the surface precisely, forming an oxide layer whose thickness determines the color produced. By adjusting power, frequency, and scan speed, the LP5 produces black, grey, gold, blue, red, and other colors without paints or coatings.
The 0.0027mm precision enables fine detail on metals that 2W IR machines simply cannot replicate — particularly visible in portrait engravings, micro-text on jewelry, and high-contrast logo work on metal business cards.
Key Features Explained
10,000mm/s Industrial Speed
2.5× faster than LP4 (4,000mm/s). Batch 100+ jewelry tags in one hour. Complex vector designs complete in seconds, not minutes.
0.0027mm · 8K Resolution
2× the accuracy of comparable 20W dual-laser machines. Jewelry-grade micro-detail on metal surfaces — fine serif fonts, portrait engravings, intricate logos.
1mm Metal Sheet Cutting
Cuts 1mm brass, stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium with precise geometry control. Cut custom metal charms, tags, and panels — not just marks.
Color Engraving on Metal
Fiber oxidation produces true colors (black, gold, blue, red) on stainless steel — no paint, no coating. Adjust power and frequency to dial in the shade.
3D Grayscale Embossing
Vivid 3D relief engraving on metals, wood, and stone. Built-in free 3D resources in LDS — load a model and engrave complex 3D textures automatically.
Variable Text & Batch Mode
Serial numbers, dates, custom names — Variable Text in LDS automatically changes text across a batch run. Slash manual reprinting time on production orders.
20W Diode — Deep Wood Cutting, Leather, and All Organics
The LP5's 20W 450nm blue diode laser handles the full range of non-metallic materials with the same depth and quality advantage its wattage implies. At 20mm basswood cutting depth and 15mm black acrylic, it outperforms lower-wattage diode machines on thick material in fewer passes — reducing charring and improving edge quality.
Leather engraving maintains consistent depth across fills without speed artifacts. Glass produces clean frosted surfaces. Slate, ceramic, rubber, rock, and paper all respond well at 10,000mm/s galvo speed — which means even large engraving fills on wood are substantially faster than gantry machines running a 10W diode at 600–800mm/s.
The dual-laser architecture means there's no physical module swap between materials — select the laser type in LDS or LightBurn, configure your parameters, and the machine uses the appropriate source automatically.
Engraving & Cutting Performance
Genuinely Portable Professional Production
At 6.02kg total system weight, the LP5 is dramatically lighter than most desktop fiber machines — many of which weigh 15–22kg with fixed enclosures. The laser head alone is 3.36kg: carry it in one hand, set it on an electric stand, and you're operational anywhere. No dedicated room required, no heavy permanent bench.
The conical protective cover filters harmful laser light during open-mode use, enabling operation in retail stores, craft fair booths, and maker spaces without a full enclosure. For classroom, school, or office environments requiring Class 1 certification, the optional Safety Enclosure provides both camera-assisted positioning and full Class 1 laser safety compliance.
LaserPecker claims the LP5 can maintain 12+ hours of continuous operation with CE-certified overheat protection — an important spec for Etsy sellers and small business owners doing extended production runs during peak seasons.

LaserPecker LP5 vs Competitors
The LP5 sits in a specific segment: portable 20W fiber + diode dual-laser engravers. Its closest direct competitor is the xTool F1 Ultra (same laser power class), while the xTool F1 and Sculpfun G9 represent the budget dual-laser tier (2W IR + 10W diode), and the xTool F2 Ultra sits above as a fixed-enclosure high-power MOPA machine.

The LP5 and xTool F1 Ultra are the two most direct competitors in the portable 20W fiber + 20W diode class. The LP5's defining advantages are its lighter total weight (3.7kg vs ~14.7kg for the F1 Ultra), thicker metal cutting capability (1mm vs ~0.3–0.4mm), and the LP5's 20mm wood cutting depth vs the F1 Ultra's 15mm. The F1 Ultra counters with a significantly larger base work area (220×220mm vs 120×160mm), optional conveyor for batch automation, built-in smart camera (16MP), and 7GB offline storage. Choose LP5 for portability and thicker material cutting. Choose F1 Ultra for workspace size and production automation.
Real-World Output Across All Material Classes
On metals, the LP5's 0.0027mm precision and 20W fiber output produce results that clearly exceed what 2W IR machines deliver. Metal business cards show clean, deep marks with consistent edges. Jewelry items display fine serif fonts and logo details. 3D grayscale portraits on aluminum look genuinely three-dimensional thanks to controlled depth variation across fill layers.
On wood, the 20W diode at galvo speed produces minimal charring with clean cut edges — the high speed reduces heat dwell time, which directly improves cut quality compared to slower machines at the same power level. Leather maintains consistent engraving depth across complex fills without artifacts.
The CraftZone community platform (50,000+ templates) provides a significant creative resource for small business users — particularly for common product types like custom pet tags, metal keychains, engraved gifts, and business card blanks where tested parameter sets and proven design templates reduce trial-and-error on first runs.

The LaserPecker LP5 is the most portable 20W dual-laser engraver available — and for the right user, it's the most capable too. If portability + fiber laser power is your priority, nothing else in this class comes close to 6kg.
For jewelry businesses, retail engravers, and small business owners who need professional fiber laser results anywhere they can set up a table, the LP5 represents the current peak of portable dual-laser engineering. The small base work area and the Safety Enclosure being sold separately are genuine limitations — but the 1mm metal cutting depth, 10,000mm/s speed, 0.0027mm precision, and 6kg total weight are numbers no comparable machine can match simultaneously.
