## Description

The xTool 5W IR Laser Module is a dedicated expansion unit designed exclusively for the [xTool P3 Laser Cutter](https://core-electronics.com.au/xtool-p3-80w-laser-cutter-machine-only.html). By adding this module to the gantry, you introduce a 1064nm infrared laser source to your existing setup, changing how the machine interacts with materials.

While the P3's native CO2 laser is exceptional for cutting organic materials like wood and acrylic, it disperses on clear plastics and reflects off bare metals, often requiring messy marking sprays to achieve good results. This IR module solves that limitation by generating a wavelength that is readily absorbed by metals and opaque plastics. This allowin you to engrave directly onto stainless steel, aluminium, brass, gold, and silver, or mark plastics like ABS with high contrast and minimal melting.

Engineered by xTool as a direct OEM upgrade, this module integrates seamlessly with the P3’s existing gantry system and the xTool Creative Space (XCS) software. It maintains the safety benefits of the P3’s enclosed chassis and fume extraction while delivering the rapid 4ns pulse width required for fine detail.

### Features

- **Direct Metal Marking Capability:** Eliminate the need for pre-treatment sprays or pastes. This module allows you to etch crisp, permanent designs directly onto bare metals, including stainless steel, aluminium, titanium, gold, silver, and copper, opening up new possibilities for custom jewellery and durable tags.
- **High-Contrast Plastic Engraving:** Achieve superior results on opaque plastics where standard CO2 lasers might cause excessive melting or burning. The 1064nm infrared wavelength is ideal for marking dark acrylics and ABS, producing a clean, light-coloured mark perfect for remote controls, switch panels, and electronic enclosures.
- **Seamless OEM Integration:** Designed to fit perfectly within the xTool P3 ecosystem, this module utilises the machine's existing motion system and safety enclosure. This ensures you retain the benefits of a fully enclosed Class 1 safety environment and automated air assist control without using third-party hardware.
- **Precision Pulse Technology:** With a pulse width of just 4ns, the laser delivers high peak power with minimal thermal impact on the surrounding material. This "cold marking" effect is critical for engraving delicate objects or achieving ultra-fine photorealistic.
