xTool Laser Welders

xTool laser welders bring the same maker-first design philosophy that established xTool as a leading laser engraver brand into the world of handheld fiber laser welding. The flagship xTool MetalFab is a 3-in-1 laser welder, cutter, and cleaner built specifically for makers, small businesses, and fabricators who want professional metalworking capability without an industrial footprint. With 800W and 1200W configurations, dual high-definition cameras for intelligent positioning, and an XCS software ecosystem that includes 100+ pre-optimized material settings, the MetalFab is one of the most approachable professional laser welding systems available. It welds stainless steel, aluminum, carbon steel, brass, titanium, and galvanized sheet with minimal heat distortion and near-zero post-processing time.

If you already own an xTool laser engraver, the MetalFab is a natural next machine — it runs on familiar xTool software, integrates with the same workflow tools you already use, and opens up metal fabrication capabilities that complement your existing engraving business. The dual camera system and intelligent nesting feature make it especially valuable for shops doing repeated production runs on metal parts. At The Maker's Chest, we offer free pre-purchase consultations for xTool MetalFab buyers — including guidance on whether the 800W or 1200W model is right for your specific materials and thickness range.

What is the xTool MetalFab and how does it work?

The xTool MetalFab is an 800W or 1200W fiber laser system that detaches from its CNC cutting bed to become a handheld welding gun, letting one machine cover both benchtop cutting and handheld welding. Detaching the laser head from the bed is what turns a CNC cutter into a handheld welder without needing two separate machines. The bed itself still handles precision, repeatable cuts on flat stock, while handheld mode is meant for welding, freehand cutting, and touch-up work.

How thick of metal can the xTool MetalFab weld?

The 1200W MetalFab welds up to 5mm steel, 5mm galvanized sheet, 4mm aluminum, and 3mm brass with full strength penetration. Penetration depth of 5mm or more is achievable depending on laser power, welding speed, and focal position, so results vary somewhat by operator skill and settings. The 800W version handles thinner material well but tops out at a lower maximum thickness across the same metals.

Does laser welding with the MetalFab produce welds as strong as TIG or MIG?

Yes, laser welding typically matches or exceeds the strength of traditional TIG or MIG welds, while creating a smaller heat-affected zone and a finer-structured seam. A smaller heat-affected zone is what keeps thin metal from warping in ways that TIG and MIG often cause, since less surrounding material gets heated during the weld. That precision also makes cosmetic and thin-gauge work look cleaner straight off the machine, with little to no post-weld grinding needed.

Does the xTool MetalFab require welding experience to use?

No. The MetalFab defaults to Standard mode on startup, where you select material type, thickness, and wire diameter and the machine sets the rest, with an Advanced mode available once you want more control. The wire feed pushes your hand along automatically, so a new user mainly needs to aim correctly rather than master torch technique. Most first-time users report producing acceptable welds within their first hour of practice on scrap metal.

What maintenance does the xTool MetalFab need?

Routine maintenance is mainly cleaning the protective lens on the laser head, since smoke and spatter can build up on it during use, plus periodic replacement of the cutting and welding nozzles as they wear. Lens cleanliness affects weld quality more than any other single maintenance item, so it's worth checking before every session rather than waiting for visible weld defects to show up. Keeping a few spare nozzles and lenses on hand avoids downtime when a part finally wears out.
