Versatile MetalFab: Handheld Laser Welding & CNC Cutting 

MetalFab switches between welding and cutting models. Users insert the welding gun into the CNC cutting platform for an intuitive, two-step workflow.

Powerful Performance & Material Processing Features 

Other features include:

  • Performance: Industrial-grade Coherent chips convert electrical energy to deliver a high-performance 1200W output.
  • Material Processing: 0.2mm to 5mm thickness range, achieving 8x the efficiency of traditional welding.
  • Intelligent Material Optimisation: Dual 16MP panoramic camera with AI algorithms for a 98.7% material utilization rate.
  • High-Precision Cutting: AI-powered precision with ±0.1mm cutting accuracy for ultra-fine detailing.
  • Significant Gas Savings: xTool accessory optimizes pressure (0.6-0.8 MPa), saving up to 50% gas compared to nitrogen cutting.

Advanced CNC Platform for Superior Accuracy & Efficiency 

The CNC platform boasts a 10mm carbon steel capacity and cutting speeds up to 400mm/s. It includes VibeFreeCut for optimised motion trajectories, ObstacleFree for collision avoidance, and FlexiTrack for real-time focus adjustments to ensure superior accuracy and efficiency.

User-Friendly Interface for Seamless Operation

The 8-inch touchscreen provides a user-friendly interface for easy operation of the powerful software, which can be preset with 108 parameters and store customised settings.

"xTool Squad represents a fresh approach to community engagement designed to connect innovators, makers, and businesses through hands-on experiences with xTool's cutting-edge technology," said Stein Shi, head of global retail marketing & general manager of US at xTool.
