xTool MetalFab 1200W Laser Welder & CNC Cutter

Your Complete Metalworking Shop in One Powerful System

Bring professional metal fabrication into your own shop with the xTool MetalFab 1200W Laser Welder and CNC Cutter. This all-in-one fiber laser metalworking system gives businesses, fabrication shops, makers, automotive professionals, artists, and serious craftsmen the ability to CNC cut, hand cut, weld, clean, and engrave metal using one integrated platform.

Instead of outsourcing metal parts or purchasing separate cutting, welding, cleaning, and engraving machines, the xTool MetalFab allows you to move from a digital design to a finished metal project in-house. Cut precision components on the CNC table, remove them from the sheet, and use the same 1200W laser source to weld them together.

One Machine. Multiple Metalworking Capabilities.

The xTool MetalFab combines a powerful 1200W fiber laser welder with a camera-equipped CNC cutting platform.

Use the system to:

• CNC cut detailed metal signs, brackets, panels, parts, and decorative designs

• Hand cut sheet metal and three-dimensional components

• Laser weld with or without filler wire

• Tack weld and pulse weld

• Clean rust, oxidation, paint, coatings, and welding discoloration

• Engrave text, logos, patterns, serial numbers, and identification marks on compatible metals

• Produce prototypes, replacement parts, finished products, and short production runs

The 1200W laser welder can weld compatible stainless steel and carbon steel from approximately 0.2mm to 5mm thick. When connected to the CNC cutter, it can produce smooth, highly accurate cuts with cutting capability varying by material, gas, nozzle, design, and setup.

Precision CNC Metal Cutting

The MetalFab CNC Cutter transforms the handheld laser source into a computer-controlled metal cutting system. Import or create your design, position the artwork over the material, and allow the machine to follow the programmed cutting path.

The CNC platform uses two cameras to simplify positioning and material layout:

• A 16MP panoramic camera provides a full view of the work area.

• A close-range camera assists with detailed alignment and secondary processing.

• Smart Nesting can arrange multiple parts efficiently and help maximize sheet utilization.

• Automatic lead-in lines and optimized cutting paths help improve cut quality and production efficiency.

Under optimized conditions, xTool reports cutting precision as fine as 0.1mm and material utilization of up to 98.7% with Smart Nesting. Actual performance will depend on the material, thickness, gas supply, nozzle, design, and operating conditions.

Powerful 1200W Laser Welding

Laser welding concentrates energy into a narrow, controlled area, creating clean welds with a smaller heat-affected zone than many traditional welding processes. This can reduce distortion, discoloration, grinding, and post-weld cleanup.

The lightweight handheld welding gun weighs approximately 550 grams, helping reduce operator fatigue during longer projects. The quick-release design makes it easier to transition between welding, handheld cutting, cleaning, and CNC operation.

The included wire-feeding system supports filler wire diameters of:

• 0.8mm

• 1.0mm

• 1.2mm

• 1.6mm

The feeder supports wire-feed speeds from 2mm/s to 100mm/s and welding wire spools weighing up to 15kg.

Metal Cutting Capabilities

Actual cutting capacity depends on the metal, assist gas, nozzle, pressure, design complexity, and desired edge quality. According to xTool’s published material data, the 1200W MetalFab can achieve the following maximum CNC cutting capacities under appropriate conditions:

• Carbon or low-alloy steel: up to 12mm

• Stainless steel: up to 10mm

• Galvanized sheet: up to 10mm

• Aluminum alloy: up to 7mm

• Brass: up to 4mm

• Titanium alloy: up to 5mm

• Nickel alloy: up to 4mm

• Bronze: up to 4mm

• Magnesium alloy: up to 3mm

The maximum listed thickness is not always the same as a clean or dross-free cutting thickness. For example, xTool lists dross-free cutting ranges of up to approximately 5mm for stainless steel, 4mm for aluminum, 3mm for brass, and 10mm for properly configured carbon steel.

Compatible Materials

The xTool MetalFab can process a wide range of metals, including:

• Carbon steel

• Mild steel

• Low-alloy steel

• Stainless steel

• Galvanized sheet

• Tool steel

• High-strength steel

• Aluminum alloys

• Brass

• Bronze

• Titanium alloys

• Nickel alloys

• Magnesium alloys

• Cobalt-based alloys

• Painted and coated sheet metal

Material compatibility varies by operation. Some metals may be suitable for cutting and welding but not recommended for engraving. Highly reflective metals require particular care, and xTool advises against engraving copper because reflected energy may damage the laser system.

Intelligent Controls and Built-In Settings

The MetalFab is designed to make advanced metalworking more approachable. The system includes an 8-inch touchscreen with more than 100 built-in processing settings, helping users select suitable starting parameters without manually developing every setting from scratch.

When operating the CNC cutter through xTool Creative Space, users can access pre-optimized material parameters, camera positioning, Smart Nesting, lead-in controls, path optimization, vector engraving, vector fill, and bitmap fill functions.

This streamlined workflow makes the system useful for experienced fabricators while also reducing the learning curve for businesses entering metal fabrication for the first time.

What Can You Make?

The xTool MetalFab is capable of producing both decorative work and functional components, including:

Signs and Metal Art

• Layered business signs

• Address signs

• Farm and ranch signs

The ability to cut and weld within the same system allows a shop to complete projects that would normally require several separate machines or outside vendors.

Designed for Small Businesses and Serious Fabricators

The xTool MetalFab is an excellent choice for businesses that want to expand into metalwork without purchasing a large industrial fiber laser cutting system and several separate welding machines.

It is particularly well suited for:

• Custom sign shops

• Metal art businesses

• Welding and fabrication shops

• Automotive and motorcycle shops

• Maintenance departments

• Farms and agricultural businesses

• Engineering and prototype shops

• Furniture makers

• Makerspaces

• Educational programs

• Established laser businesses expanding into metal

By bringing cutting, welding, cleaning, and engraving in-house, businesses can reduce outsourcing costs, shorten turnaround times, test new products quickly, and accept a wider variety of custom work.

1200W Laser Welder Specifications

• Laser output power: 1200W

• Laser type: Continuous wave and modulated wave fiber laser

• Laser wavelength: 1080 ± 10nm

• Welder dimensions: Approximately 12.9" × 28.7" × 20.2"

• Welder weight: Approximately 84.2 lb.

• Welding-head cable length: Approximately 16.4 ft.

• Cooling system: Forced-air cooling

• Rated voltage: 200–240V

• Rated power: 4200W

• Full-load current: 21A

• Operating temperature: Approximately 14°F to 104°F

The CNC Cutter uses a separate 100–240V power connection, while the 1200W laser welder requires a properly installed 200–240V circuit. xTool recommends a dedicated electrical circuit with appropriate current capacity. Electrical installation should be completed or verified by a qualified electrician according to local electrical codes.

Gas and Air Requirements

Shielding or assist gas is required for most welding and cutting operations.

Depending on the operation and material, the system may use:

• Argon

• Nitrogen

• Oxygen

• Clean, dry compressed air

Argon or nitrogen with a purity above 99.99% is generally used for welding. Oxygen may be used when cutting thicker carbon steel. When paired with the xTool air compressor, air dryer, and SaveGas cutting nozzle, clean compressed air can be used for many common CNC cutting applications, helping reduce dependence on bottled nitrogen.

A Complete Digital Metalworking Workflow

The xTool MetalFab 1200W Laser Welder and CNC Cutter gives you the freedom to design, cut, weld, clean, engrave, and finish metal projects inside your own shop.

From a single custom sign to a production run of brackets or fabricated parts, MetalFab gives small businesses and professional makers a powerful way to take control of the entire metalworking process.

Create the design. Cut the components. Weld the assembly. Finish the surface. Build it all with one integrated xTool MetalFab system.
