Product Information

Full details

The xTool 3W Infrared Laser Module is a precision-focused accessory designed specifically for xTool M2 users who require high-contrast engraving on metals, plastics, and acrylics. It is ideal for jewelry makers, trophy crafters, and personalization experts looking for ultra-fine detail that standard diode lasers cannot achieve. The primary caveat is that this module is purpose-built for engraving; it is not designed for cutting through materials, meaning users will still need a standard laser module for structural fabrication tasks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this module cut wood or paper?

No. The 3W Infrared laser is designed for surface marking and engraving, not for cutting through materials.

Does it work on clear acrylic?

Infrared lasers struggle with transparent materials. It works best on opaque plastics and most metals.

How long is the lifespan of the infrared laser?

The module is designed for long-term use, typically rated for thousands of hours of operational life under normal usage conditions.

Do I need to wear safety glasses?

Yes. Always wear laser safety goggles specifically rated for 1064nm wavelength during operation, even with the protective enclosure closed.

Is this module compatible with other xTool machines?

This module is specifically engineered for the M2; please check your specific machine documentation for cross-platform compatibility.

Troubleshooting

Engraving appears faint or invisible on metal

Check your focus distance and ensure the surface is clean and free of oil or protective film.

Laser module not detected by software

Power cycle the xTool M2 and verify that the electrical contacts on the back of the module are clean and seated firmly in the connector.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Delivers high-contrast marks on reflective metals
Exceptional detail resolution for complex designs
Easy plug-and-play installation for the xTool M2 platform
Minimal maintenance required compared to gas lasers

Cons

Not capable of cutting materials
Slower engraving speeds compared to high-power diode modules
Requires specific material surface preparation for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the module, first ensure your xTool M2 is powered off and disconnected from the power supply. Remove the standard laser module and mount the Infrared unit into the carriage, ensuring the contact points are aligned. Within the software, the device will automatically detect the module, though you should perform a manual focus check using the included focus tool to ensure the Z-height is calibrated for your specific material thickness.

For care, wipe the protective lens with a clean, lint-free microfiber cloth and high-purity isopropyl alcohol after every 10 hours of use to prevent residue buildup. Do not use compressed air directly on the lens, as this can introduce debris into the housing.
