Introducing the xTool MetalFab Laser Welder and CNC Cutter
July 22, 2025

xTool has officially launched the MetalFab, touted as “the world’s first smart laser welding & CNC cutting solution for metalworking".
This ground-breaking machine integrates laser welding, CNC cutting, and surface cleaning into a single, compact desktop machine which empowers both hobbyists and small businesses as well as artists and classrooms to achieve industrial-grade results with minimal setup and no prior expertise.
At the heart of MetalFab’s innovation lies a powerful fiber laser system, available in 800 W and 1200 W options. The 1200 W option allows you to weld stainless or carbon steel up to 5 mm thick, while its CNC cutter slices through metal as thick as 10 mm in a single pass.
With its advanced fiber technology creating a heat-affected zone as small as ≤0.05 mm, distortion is minimized. This means you can accomplish beautiful, clean, precise cuts and welds that rival traditional methods of welding, except they take a fraction of the time.
