xTool’s new Mountain View HQ and nationwide Fab Lab campaign put powerful tools in the hands of those shaping the future—creators, educators, and entrepreneurs alike
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — xTool, a global leader in desktop laser cutters and smart fabrication tools, today announced its official entry into the U.S. market with the grand opening of its Mountain View, Calif. headquarters. The move marks the start of what xTool calls the “New Era of the Maker Movement” or “Maker Movement 2.0”: a new chapter where fabrication tools don’t just live in garages, but in classrooms, labs, and startup studios across the country.

To celebrate the establishment of its first U.S. office in the epicenter of Silicon Valley’s innovation, xTool will host a grand opening event at its office on Thursday, July 31, with the option to attend via livestream at 6:30pm PST. The event will feature live product demonstrations, facility tours, and a donation ceremony.
“xTool is redefining the maker economy in the U.S., not just with machines, but with a mission,” said Jasen Wang, CEO of xTool. “This ‘New Era of the Maker Movement’ is about broadening access to advanced tools for a wider range of users at any skill level. By establishing roots in Silicon Valley and supporting Fab Labs across the U.S., we’re investing in a new generation of creators—those who will turn ideas into action and side projects into scalable businesses.”
As part of this mission, xTool recently launched its F2 Ultra, a powerful, dual-laser engraver combining 60W MOPA fiber and 40W diode technology. Compact yet industrial-grade, the F2U is engineered to empower creators with high-speed, high-precision performance across materials, enabling makers to turn ideas into real products, businesses, and impact.

Strategic U.S. Expansion
xTool’s Mountain View headquarters marks a major step in its U.S. expansion, supporting the growth of its demo rooms, customer service operations, and the “xTool Squad” program — a new localized support network. By the end of the year, xTool aims to bring on board up to 700 independent partners across the country to join the xTool Squad and provide hands-on assistance to customers in their communities.

“I’m excited to see xTool’s innovative tools reaching more educators and makers,” said Dale Dougherty, founder of MAKE: Magazine. “With the right tools and a creative mindset, anyone can become a maker. xTool is helping more people bring their ideas to life and inspiring the next generation of inventors.”
Empowering the Next Generation of Makers
As part of its mission to make advanced fabrication technology more accessible, xTool is donating 50 laser machines—valued at over $200,000—to schools, makerspaces, and educational organizations across the U.S. in 2025.
Early recipients include local community hubs like Maker Nexus, purpose-driven organizations such as Black Horse Forge, which supports veterans and first responders, and renowned institutions like MIT and Stanford.
xTool is also expanding its partnership with the Fab Foundation’s global Fab Lab network, including a cornerstone donation to the new Fab Lab HQ in Boston, and powering the Fab-In-A-Box initiative—an affordable, accessible and engaging mobile fabrication program.
“The Fab Foundation was founded on the idea that anyone, anywhere, can make almost anything if they have access to the right tools and knowledge,” said Sherry Lassiter, President and Co-Founder of the Fab Foundation. “Together with our partners and the global Fab Lab network, we’re unlocking creativity, expanding opportunity, and building a more inclusive and sustainable future for all.”
