Add Laser Welding to Your Toolkit
As a 3-in-1 laser welder, cutter and cleaner, xTool MetalFab doesn't replace TIG (for all metals & corners) or MIG (for heavy welding), but complements your toolbox. It boosts your welding speed and precision with smooth seams that requires minimal cleanup work, dramatically cutting your labor costs.
Next-Gen Welding: Easier, Faster, and Cleaner
Why small businesses are adding the laser welder to their shops: It's not just about the machine, it's about the quality and efficiency.
Engineered for Peak Performance & Versatility
xTool MetalFab delivers unwavering 1200W/800w output—enabling strength welding of up to 5mm steel, 5mm galvanized sheet, 4mm aluminum, 4mm brass, and more.
Industrial Strength & Penetration: Proven with Real Tests
Never worry about the strength of laser welding. This is an industrial tool capable of deep penetration and structural integrity.
Acid or a hammer – which one will break the weld? We subject the xTool MetalFab to both extreme tests to answer one question: Is it strong enough for real-world projects? See the surprising results.
Can one machine reliably weld carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum? And are those welds strong enough to pass a brutal bend test? We find out in this real-world material stress test.
Check the quality tests including tensile testing, dye penetrant testing, and metallographic examination conducted to the standard of ISO 15614-1, certified by SGS.

FAQ
- Laser Welding: Fast speed, low heat input, minimal distortion, high precision, the most user-friendly, and strong quality; however, it has gap requirements and cannot weld overly wide seams.
- TIG Welding: Capable of welding nearly all metals, providing high-quality welds that heavily depend on the welder's skill, typically requiring decades of experience, and is extremely slow.
- MIG Welding: Excellent for thick plates, more efficient than TIG, and easier to operate, making it a balanced choice.
The xTool MetalFab can achieve high-quality welding for most metals, including stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, brass, galvanized sheet, titanium alloy, bronze, nickel alloys, and more. It can weld metals as thin as 0,2 mm, with the maximum thickness for single-sided penetration as follows:
- 1200W: 5 mm for stainless steel, carbon steel, and galvanized sheet; 4mm for brass and aluminum.
- 800W: 4 mm for stainless steel, carbon steel, and galvanized sheet; 3mm for brass and aluminum.
The maximum welding thickness is based on data from xTool laboratories.
Yes, it's as strong as TIG/MIG.
Laser welding offers high energy density. With correct parameters, its strength and penetration can match or exceed TIG/MIG. The xTool laser welder achieves up to 5mm penetration and is SGS certified, meeting ISO15614-1 standards for tensile and metallographic testing, ensuring strong reliability.
For most metals, we recommend using nitrogen/argon with a purity of 99,99% or higher.
For titanium alloy welding, argon with a purity of 99,99% or higher is recommended. A flow rate of 15-20 LPM (or 0,1-0,2 MPa pressure) is advised.
Please do not use mixed gases, as this may affect welding quality.
Additionally, for handheld laser cutting and cleaning, we recommend using compressed air or high-purity nitrogen/argon (which is more expensive).
We have implemented a series of designs to ensure your safety.
This includes safety circuit design, emergency stop buttons, dual-button grip sensors, and every welding machine comes with a pair of OD6+ protective glasses and a mask.
We also provide safety training videos before use, offering you comprehensive protection.
