SANTA CLARA, Calif., Nov. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- xTool, a global leader in desktop laser cutters and smart fabrication tools, today announced the F2 Ultra UV, a 5W galvo UV laser built for creators, retailers, and small businesses seeking ultra-fine detail, damage-free results, and versatile multi-material capability. Designed for high-end customization, in-store personalization, and professional studios, it expands xTool's material compatibility and creates new commercial opportunities across retail, luxury gifting, and bespoke production.
Powered by a 355 nm industrial-grade UV laser, the system uses a short-wavelength beam that is readily absorbed by most materials, including transparent, fragile, and heat-sensitive substrates. It handles materials that other laser types often fail to process, such as glass, crystal, plastics, acrylic, and ceramics. With a spot size under 10 microns, far finer than other common laser sources, it delivers true micron-level resolution. Optimized engraving-path algorithms achieve 0.001 mm precision and produce clear rendering of 0.3 mm features. Cold-processing minimizes heat impact, preventing burn marks, discoloration, and warping. All these features enable users to achieve consistent, high-precision, premium-quality results on a wide range of materials.
As a true Glass Master, the F2 Ultra UV uses precisely controlled photon energy to form micro-fractures or micro-bubbles within glass, enabling permanent 3D inner engraving with exceptional clarity. Built-in power-compensation and texture-enhancement algorithms ensure uniform 3D depth, crisp contrast, and vivid detail. The system also supports glass surface relief engraving, cutting, and rotary operations, expanding possibilities for décor, personalized gifts, art pieces, and high-end custom products.
Designed for simplicity and efficiency, the F2 Ultra UV offers two work modes: a 70 × 70 mm inner engraving zone and a 200 × 200 mm surface workspace. Dual 48 MP cameras support auto-focus, live preview, material positioning, and batch alignment. Its AI-powered software delivers one-click text-to-3D and 2D-to-3D generation, automatically adjusts power and optimizes texture for each material, and ensures high-precision calibration, allowing even beginners to achieve professional-grade results. With speeds up to 15,000 mm/s and optimized 3D inner-engraving algorithms, the system delivers up to 180% of the processing efficiency of traditional industrial systems.
The F2 Ultra UV features a fully enclosed and UV-safe design that brings industrial-grade precision and broad material compatibility into a plug-and-play system. It enables creators and businesses to work efficiently and consistently while producing high-value, industrial-quality custom products, while also expanding creative possibilities and unlocking new commercial opportunities.

HONG KONG, April 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Prudential Hong Kong Limited ("Prudential") hosted the Prudential Health Summit: Improving care for every patient ("the Summit") on 27 March, 2026. The Summit brought together healthcare experts, providers, academia, industry partners and patient groups from Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area to exchange practical ideas for building a more collaborative healthcare system while supporting better patient experiences and outcomes in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape.
Speaking at the Summit, Lawrence Lam, Chief Executive Officer of Prudential Hong Kong, said: "Patient experience is at the heart of how we continue to evolve our health business at Prudential. Improving clarity, coordination and support for patients is a shared responsibility across the entire health ecosystem. Today's discussions reaffirm the importance of working together to deliver more seamless and reassuring healthcare journeys."
Arjan Toor, Chief Executive Officer, Health, Prudential plc, added: "Listening to patients is essential to improving how care is experienced. Collaboration across prevention, diagnosis, treatment and recovery enables different industry players to bring their strengths together, providing patients with greater clarity and support at critical health moments, when reassurance and peace of mind matter most."
The Summit reflects Prudential's ongoing engagement with healthcare partners, with a shared focus on improving the experience for customers when they are unwell and helping them navigate medical care with greater clarity, assurance and confidence. The panel discussions also drew on insights from Prudential's Patient Voices survey, which highlights patient experiences and expectations across different stages of their healthcare journeys.
Candy Au Yeung, Chief Customer Operations and Health Officer of Prudential Hong Kong Limited, said: "When people face health concerns, clear information, timely support and peace of mind matter most. Without timely access to care, many are left feeling confused and frustrated. Patients are not outsiders; they are central to the healthcare ecosystem, which is why education and cross–sector collaboration are essential."
Prof. Eng-kiong Yeoh, Director, Centre for Health Systems and Policy Research, JC School of Public Health and Primary Care, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, said: "It is critical that patients are informed, engaged and empowered throughout their health journey. To achieve this, we need an ongoing platform that brings together medical service providers, healthcare professionals, insurers, regulators and policymakers to work together in strengthening the efficiency and effectiveness of our healthcare system."
Dr Yannie Soo, Assistant Chief Hospital Manager of Union Hospital, said: "We really have to take action to strengthen the healthcare system so patients can trust it and adhere to the treatment they need, which will help bring the overall healthcare burden down. We also need more coordinated collaboration and better communication among insurers, healthcare providers and patients, so they are aware of potential shortfalls in medical expense early in the treatment process and can prepare ahead."
Alex Lam, Chairman, Hong Kong Patients' Voices, said: "Many patients feel uncertain when health issues arise, and finding the right doctor or hospital for appropriate treatment can be challenging, particularly when they are unsure where to turn. Hence, access to clear, trustworthy information and support to navigate care is essential. Greater transparency in medical pricing also plays a critical role in helping patients make informed decisions throughout their healthcare journey."
Dr. Kin Lai Chung, Chief Executive Officer, CUHK Medical Centre, said: "Healthcare institutions play a critical role in the broader health ecosystem. We see strong value in working more closely with insurers and their agency force to share insights on medical developments, specialist expertise and emerging service models, equipping insurance agents with essential medical knowledge to facilitate healthcare decision making for customers and patients. Through stronger industry collaboration, greater transparency and improved affordability, we can build greater trust among the public in medical institutions and deliver care patients can rely on."
