5 reasons why you should invest in the M2 laser+print machine…
I’ve been testing out this machine for a good few months now and it impresses me more and more each time I use it. If you have a small business and want to expand your product line, add the XTool M2 to your office and see what you can make!

•PRINT+CUT•
I can finally expand the type of toppers I am offering in my business. The fact there’s endless opportunities is such a bonus. With the print feature, I am able to offer printed wooden cake toppers. These are great for cake themes that want a little bit of colour, but nothing vibrant - they work well with an under the sea or western cake themes for example.
•WOODEN CAKE TOPPERS•
These are something I have been wanting to make for ages. Using basswood sheets, I am able to import themed images into the xTool design software. It takes a little practice to perfect the settings, but I definitely like increasing the laser intensity power so the inside of the image is engraved with as much detail as possible. I have so many theme sets I want to make now and they are so special if a little more luxury is needed for a cake.
•CAKE NAME/AGE CHARMS•
Sometimes all a cake needs is a name and/or age, or a requires these for durability or a keepsake; alongside a normal printed theme set. These can be offered in wood or certain colours of acrylic. They could also be cut on the M2 for table placement names, added to festive gift boxes or used as decorative pieces for a child’s bedroom.
•XTOOL STUDIO IS A BREEZE•
If you’re used to using another well known cutting machine software, getting used to the Xtool design software is a breeze and very user friendly for even those new users who are just beginning their cutting project journey. I was really nervous about navigating my way around it, but a lot of the features are the same and it also includes some cool features such as the background remover (no monthly subscription account needed!) and I love how you can change the intensity of the laser engraving depending on how much detail you’d like. In a rush? Increase the speed too!
