Turn Student Designs Into
Finished Metal Projects.
Take hands-on learning beyond prototyping and into real-world metal fabrication.
xTool MetalFab gives students the opportunity to experience CNC laser cutting and laser welding as part of a connected digital manufacturing workflow - turning designs into precisely cut metal components and bringing those components together as finished projects and assemblies.
From engineering components and brackets to panels, enclosures and fabricated projects, students can experience how digital designs become real manufactured outcomes.
Design It. Cut It. Weld It. Build It.
CNC Laser Cutting
Give students practical experience of turning digital designs into accurately cut metal components - connecting CAD and engineering with real manufacturing processes.
Sheet-Metal Projects
Explore how sheet metal can be transformed into brackets, panels, enclosures and other components while developing an understanding of materials, tolerances and manufacturing.
Prototype & Develop
Allow students to make components, evaluate the result and refine their designs - developing problem-solving skills through practical experimentation.
Laser Welding & Assembly
Take learning beyond individual components by exploring how fabricated metal parts can be joined together to create complete projects and assemblies.
From Digital Design to Finished Project.
Making the individual part is only the beginning.
Metal fabrication gives students the opportunity to understand how different manufacturing processes come together.
Start with a digital design. Cut the components from sheet metal. Evaluate their fit and function. Then bring those individual pieces together through welding and assembly to create something complete.
It's a practical learning experience that connects design, engineering, materials and manufacturing within one project.
Design it → Cut it → Weld it → Fabricate it.
Professional Metal Fabrication for Practical Learning.
xTool MetalFab brings modern metalworking technology into the learning environment, allowing students to gain hands-on experience of processes and workflows used in real-world manufacturing.
xTOOL METALFAB EDU ALL-IN-ONE BUNDLE
From digital design to fabricated metal project.
The MetalFab EDU All-in-One Bundle brings CNC laser cutting and laser welding together in a comprehensive education-focused metal fabrication setup.
Students can experience the complete workflow - designing components digitally, cutting them from sheet metal and bringing those individual parts together into finished fabricated projects.
xTOOL METALFAB LASER WELDER
Introduce students to modern laser welding.
MetalFab provides hands-on experience of laser-based metalworking technology, allowing students to explore how fabricated components are joined as part of the manufacturing process.
Available in 800W and 1200W configurations, the system provides institutions with options for different requirements and levels of application.
From First Component to Something Complete.
The educational value of fabrication lies in understanding the whole manufacturing process.
Students can begin with an idea, develop it through CAD, manufacture the individual components, evaluate how those parts fit together and ultimately create a finished assembly.
Along the way, they encounter the same questions faced in real engineering and manufacturing: Which material should we use? How should the component be designed? How will it be manufactured? Will the parts fit? How will they be joined? And could the design be improved?
It turns a digital design exercise into a complete practical engineering project.
Design it. Make it. Assemble it. Learn from it.
