xTool MetalFab – The All-in-One Metal Fabrication Solution

Cut. Weld. Clean. Create.

For decades, metal fabrication has been complicated, expensive, and scattered across multiple machines. If you wanted to cut steel, you needed a CNC laser cutter. If you wanted to weld, you needed a dedicated welder. If you wanted to clean rust or prepare surfaces, you needed blasting, harsh chemicals, or yet another tool.

Now imagine replacing all of that with one integrated system — compact, precise, powerful, and designed for professionals, fabricators, signage companies, arts & crafts businesses, and entrepreneurs. That’s exactly what the xTool MetalFab delivers.

At MaxLaser, we’re proud to introduce this revolutionary machine to the South African market. And we don’t just sell you a machine. We provide installation, in-depth training, financing options, lifetime support, and access to the MaxLaser Academy. With a 4.9 Google rating, we’re trusted by startups and industry veterans alike.

Traditional metal fabrication setups come with challenges:

Space-hungry setups. One corner for your CNC cutter, another for your welding station, plus surface prep equipment.
High costs. Each specialized machine is expensive on its own.
Inefficiency. Moving parts between machines slows workflow.
Steep learning curves. Each tool has unique quirks and requires additional training.

The xTool MetalFab eliminates these hurdles by unifying cutting, welding, and cleaning into a single, smart, user-friendly system.

Here’s why it’s a breakthrough:

All-in-one versatility. Cut metal sheets, weld them seamlessly, and clean or restore surfaces — all in one system.
Industrial-grade power. Built to handle 24/7 production cycles with uncompromising reliability.
Compact footprint. Replace three machines with one streamlined solution.
AI-assisted software. Dual cameras and intuitive presets make precision simple.
Faster ROI. Multiple services equal multiple revenue streams.

This is not just a fabrication machine. It’s a profit-generating tool that adapts to your business, whether you’re a large engineering firm, a signage workshop, or an entrepreneur scaling up from a side hustle.

Who It’s For

The MetalFab isn’t limited to one niche. It was designed for flexibility across industries.

Fabrication Shops & Engineers

Fabrication businesses live and die by precision. Customers demand clean cuts, strong welds, and rapid turnaround times. With the MetalFab, engineers can:

Cut complex geometries in stainless steel, carbon steel, or aluminum.
Weld seams that are stronger and cleaner, with less rework.
Offer cleaning and restoration services to add value for clients.

Result? More contracts won, less time wasted.

Signage & Branding Companies

In signage, margins depend on creativity and efficiency. The MetalFab is a dream machine for signage shops because it can:

Cut intricate lettering, logos, and decorative patterns.
Handle large jobs with the FlexiTrack™ pass-through system, allowing unlimited material length.
Weld robust frames that hold up installations outdoors.
Clean or prep surfaces for coatings, paints, or powder finishes.

This makes signage companies more versatile, more competitive, and more profitable.

Arts & Crafts Businesses at Scale

For makers who’ve outgrown handheld tools and hobby machines, the MetalFab is the next step. With it, creative businesses can:

Produce art panels, sculptures, and decor that command premium prices.
Weld together unique functional products like furniture or custom fixtures.
Restore antique metal goods with professional cleaning.

In short: it transforms artistry into a scalable business model.

Side Hustlers & Entrepreneurs

Maybe you’ve started a small workshop, or you’re dreaming of leaving the 9-to-5. The MetalFab is designed for entrepreneurs too. Here’s why:

You can start with just one service (cutting, welding, or cleaning).
As you grow, you can offer all three without buying new machines.
The machine pays for itself quickly through multiple revenue channels.

For entrepreneurs, this is the bridge between a small side hustle and a thriving medium-sized business.
