xTool MetalFab Laser Welder and CNC Cutter for Education

Bring professional metal fabrication technology into the classroom with the xTool MetalFab Laser Welder and CNC Cutter for Education — an all-in-one metalworking solution designed to help schools, CTE programs, vocational programs, STEM/STEAM labs, colleges, technical training programs, and workforce-development centers turn digital designs into real-world metal projects.

The xTool MetalFab combines laser welding, CNC metal cutting, laser cleaning, and engraving capabilities into one integrated educational metal fabrication system.

Instead of requiring multiple standalone machines and complicated workflows, MetalFab gives educators and students access to a complete metalworking experience — from digital design and precision cutting to fabrication, welding, cleaning, and finishing.

🏫 A COMPLETE METAL LAB FOR MODERN EDUCATION

Today's students need more than theory.

The xTool MetalFab helps bring hands-on fabrication, engineering, manufacturing, and workforce skills directly into educational environments.

Use MetalFab to introduce students to:

• Metal fabrication
• Laser welding
• CNC metal cutting
• Digital manufacturing
• CAD-to-production workflows
• Engineering
• Product design
• Prototyping
• Manufacturing technology
• Skilled trades
• Career & Technical Education
• STEM and STEAM education
• Workforce-development skills

One integrated system can support projects from initial digital design through fabrication of the finished metal component.

🔥 1200W LASER WELDING POWER

The education configuration features the xTool MetalFab 1200W Laser Welder, providing the power needed for real-world metal fabrication training.

According to xTool, MetalFab can weld compatible stainless steel and carbon steel from approximately 0.2 mm to 5 mm, with welding quality validated through SGS testing.

Laser welding offers students the opportunity to learn a modern fabrication process increasingly relevant to today's manufacturing environment.

✨ WELD, CUT, CLEAN & ENGRAVE

MetalFab isn't simply a welding machine.

Its integrated system provides multiple metalworking capabilities, including:

Laser Welding

Create strong, precise welds on compatible metals while introducing students to modern laser-welding technology.

CNC Metal Cutting

Turn digital designs into precisely cut metal components using the MetalFab CNC cutting system.

Laser Cleaning

Remove compatible rust, paint, coatings, and surface contaminants as part of fabrication and restoration workflows.

Engraving

Add markings, identification, designs, and other engraved details to compatible metal projects.

Together, these capabilities create an incredibly versatile learning platform for fabrication, engineering, manufacturing, and technical education.

⚡ CNC CUTTING SPEEDS UP TO 400 MM/S

Move student projects from digital design to physical prototype quickly.

The xTool MetalFab CNC Cutter reaches cutting speeds of up to 400 mm/s (15.75 in/s), helping classes maximize hands-on learning time.

xTool also incorporates optimized path planning designed to improve cutting efficiency — an important advantage when multiple students or classes need access to the same equipment.

📺 8-INCH SMART TOUCHSCREEN

Complex equipment shouldn't create unnecessary barriers to learning.

MetalFab features a large 8-inch smart touchscreen designed to simplify machine operation.

With 108+ built-in material parameters, students and instructors can select appropriate predefined parameters rather than beginning every project with extensive manual testing.

This helps make advanced metal fabrication technology more approachable for educational environments.

📸 SMART DUAL-CAMERA POSITIONING

Precision matters when students turn their designs into real metal parts.

The MetalFab smart vision system uses dual-camera positioning to assist with project setup and placement.

A panoramic camera helps with layout and nesting, while a close-range camera provides additional precision for smaller and more detailed projects.

xTool specifies positioning deviation of less than 0.2 mm for its close-range camera system.

🛡️ DESIGNED WITH EDUCATIONAL SAFETY IN MIND

The education-focused MetalFab system incorporates multiple safety features designed to support controlled educational use.

Features include:

• OD5+ protective cover
• Multiple integrated safety protections
• Enclosed CNC processing environment
• Safety-focused laser controls
• Protective equipment for appropriate operations
• Machine safeguards designed around laser fabrication

The xTool MetalFab is listed by xTool as CE, FCC, and FDA certified.

IMPORTANT: Metal fabrication can generate fumes and particulates. xTool states that external ventilation ducted outdoors or an appropriate certified air-purification system is required for classroom air-quality management.

MetalFab is professional fabrication equipment and should only be operated under appropriate trained adult supervision while following all xTool safety, ventilation, PPE, facility, electrical, fire-safety, and operating requirements.

🎓 IDEAL FOR CTE & WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

The xTool MetalFab is especially well suited for programs preparing students for careers involving:

• Welding
• Metal fabrication
• Manufacturing
• Engineering
• Industrial technology
• Automotive applications
• Product design
• Prototyping
• Skilled trades
• Digital fabrication
• Advanced manufacturing
• Career & Technical Education

Students can gain exposure to both traditional fabrication concepts and modern digital manufacturing workflows.

💡 FROM DIGITAL DESIGN TO REAL-WORLD PROTOTYPE

Give students the opportunity to experience an entire fabrication workflow.

Students can develop an idea, prepare a digital design, cut components, assemble and weld them, clean surfaces, add engraved details, and evaluate their completed project.

This creates opportunities for project-based learning across engineering, manufacturing, design, STEM/STEAM, and skilled-trade curricula.

🖥️ xTOOL CREATIVE SPACE SOFTWARE

MetalFab operates with xTool Creative Space (XCS), helping connect digital designs with the fabrication process.

This provides educators with an integrated xTool workflow while helping students develop experience moving from computer-based design to physical production.

🏭 WHAT CAN STUDENTS CREATE?

Depending on curriculum, materials, training, and project requirements, MetalFab can support projects such as:

• Engineering prototypes
• Metal signs
• Brackets
• Structural components
• Automotive-related projects
• Decorative metalwork
• Furniture components
• Tool organizers
• Classroom projects
• Robotics components
• Mechanical assemblies
• Metal art
• Custom fabricated parts
• Product prototypes
• Manufacturing exercises
• Welding practice projects
• Design challenges
• Capstone projects
• Entrepreneurship projects
