High-Precision Engraving
The Mecpow X3 Pro adopts a 10W diode laser with a small focus of 0.06x0.08mm, along with an engraving accuracy of 0.01mm to produce high peak power, ultimately achieving more accurate and deeper engraving and cutting. It can cut a wood board with a 20mm thickness and an acrylic board with a 15mm thickness.
Security Protection
The X3 Pro machine boasts a flame sensor and a gyroscope sensor, which can trigger the alarm and stop the machine’s operation in the event of a fire or tilting more than 50±5°. Besides, limit switches are included to prevent accidents and reduce wear by stopping the machine from moving beyond its safe limits, leading to a longer lifespan of the laser engraver. Furthermore, you can stop the machine anytime by pressing the emergency stop button and locking the machine to keep it safe from unwanted use, which is especially handy if you have kids around.
Adjustable Air Assist Pump
The attached air pump helps to remove debris and smoke for a cleaner cut. It also prevents the buildup of combustible materials, reducing the risk of fire and providing a safer engraving experience. Plus, with its adjustable knob, you can easily regulate the airflow according to the density of the smoke for a smokeless and odorless workspace.
Fast & Easy Focusing
The X3 Pro laser engraver comes with a fixed-focus laser that saves you time in adjusting the focus and a focusing screen that helps you move the laser head to the correct position. Slide down the laser head till it touches the focusing screen on the object and then remove the focusing screen.
Eye Protection
The laser engraving machine is equipped with a laser shield on the laser module, which can filter out diffuse light from the laser spot to a large extent. A pair of laser safety goggles is also included for better eye protection.
Wide Application and Compatibility
The X3 Pro engraving machine can be used for engraving on a variety of materials, including wood, acrylic, leather, bamboo, fabric, stainless steel, etc. It is compatible with LaserGRBL (Windows only) and LightBurn (Windows and Mac OS), supporting various file formats, including JPG, PNG, DXF, TIF, PDF, SVG, AI, NC, BMP, etc.

C. Regularly check whether the belts are notched or bent. The belts are equipped with steel wires, and bending is likely to cause the wires to break.
16. Can the engraving machine engrave on the metal surface?
For stainless steel, laser engraving can be done directly on its surface. Other metals, such as iron, aluminum, and copper, can only be carved with a coating applied to their surface.
17. Can the product cut through metal?
No.
18. How to maintain the laser module?
A. Maintain the laser head by regularly cleaning or replacing the lens.
B. The regular service life of the laser module is more than 10,000 hours. For better engraving effects, we recommend that you replace the laser module after use of 10,000 hours.
19. How to make sure that the engraving range is within the engraved object?
Click "Frame" to preview the engraving range. If the engraving range is beyond the engraved object, move the object or the laser head to adjust it.
20. Can the engraving machine be used on an iPad?
No.
21. Can the machine engrave on glass or ceramics?
Yes. Glass needs to be painted on the surface and ceramic needs to be applied with heat transfer paper on the surface.
22. Is it possible to engrave on coating layers?
Yes. For coated layers, the engraving speed must be fast. For grayscale images, we recommend that you use LightBurn for engraving. Grayscale engraving with LaserGRBL is much slower, so the engraving results will not be as good.
23. Can you engrave on a 3D object, such as a water bottle?
Yes. It needs to be used with a rotary roller. Connect the rotary roller to the Y-axis motor.
24. How often should I replace the lenses of the laser module?
Smudged lenses can seriously affect the quality of engraving or cutting. Thus, we recommend that you replace the lenses once a month.
25. What if the laser module is not raised high enough?
Loosen the screws in the dovetail groove on the back of the laser module. Then move the dovetail groove down to the screw holes below. Insert the screws into the screw holes and tighten the screws to secure the dovetail groove.
