For years, makers and small business owners faced a painful decision: buy a fiber laser for metals, or buy a diode/CO₂ laser for wood, leather, and acrylic. Getting both meant buying two machines, learning two software workflows, and dedicating twice the bench space. The result? A fragmented workshop and a compromised material palette.

The Gweike G3 was designed to eliminate that compromise entirely. Billed as the world’s first desktop engraver to integrate a 60W MOPA fiber laser with a 40W diode laser in a single system, it promises to handle 2,500+ materials — from color-engraved stainless steel to deep-cut hardwoods — without ever swapping modules or changing machines.

Gweike, a company founded in 2004 with deep roots in industrial and professional laser systems, has taken its production-grade expertise and packaged it into a compact desktop form factor. The result is a machine that competes directly with the xTool F2 Ultra while offering significantly more power on the fiber side.

The Dual-Laser Architecture: One Machine, Two Worlds

The G3’s defining feature is its dual-laser system — and unlike modular systems that require physical swapping of laser heads, the G3 integrates both lasers into a single, unified platform.

The result is a machine that can engrave a colorful logo on a stainless steel tumbler with the MOPA fiber, then instantly switch to cutting a wooden display stand with the diode — all in the same session, through the same software interface.

MOPA Color Engraving: Beyond Monochrome

The G3’s 60W MOPA fiber laser is where the machine truly shines. Unlike standard fiber lasers that are limited to monochrome marking, MOPA technology enables precise color control on metals.

The GLASER software allows users to create, save, and reuse color profiles — eliminating the guesswork and complex adjustments typically associated with color metal engraving. This means consistent, repeatable color results across production runs, which is critical for commercial work.

Production-Grade Speed and Precision

At 100% power, the G3’s 60W MOPA laser outperforms 20W fiber lasers by a significant margin — delivering 3× the speed and 200% finer detail. It also operates up to twenty times faster than a typical 2W IR fiber laser.

For detailed work, the G3 achieves markings as small as 10 μm (0.01 mm), making it suitable for machining-critical components and intricate designs. The 16MP HD smart camera provides visual positioning and alignment, while the auto-focus system eliminates manual setup.

Smart Features for Batch Production

The G3 is designed not just for single pieces but for production workflows. The conveyor system is particularly noteworthy — it expands the effective work area from the standard 175×175mm marking field to 175×1000mm with continuous feeding.

Free, Powerful Software

The G3 runs on Gweike Cloud, the company’s proprietary software platform. This software flexibility means beginners can use the intuitive cloud interface, while advanced users can leverage LightBurn’s full feature set.

Which G3 Is Right for You?

The Gweike G3 comes in multiple configurations:

The key decision point is whether you need MOPA color capability. If your work is primarily monochrome metal marking plus non-metal engraving, the 30W or 50W configurations may suffice. If you want to produce color-engraved stainless steel products — tumblers, jewelry, business cards, promotional items — the 60W MOPA version is essential.

Comparisons to Consider

The G3’s 60W MOPA fiber gives it a significant power advantage over the xTool F2 Ultra’s 30W MOPA — translating to deeper engraving, faster speeds, and more robust metal cutting. For users whose primary need is metal work with color capability, the G3 offers more headroom.

Final Verdict

The Gweike G3 is a genuine breakthrough in desktop laser engraving. By integrating a 60W MOPA fiber laser with a 40W diode laser in a single, unified system, it eliminates the need for multiple machines and fragmented workflows.

Is it perfect? No. The standard 175×175mm work area is small, the price is a serious investment, and the software ecosystem is still maturing. But for small business owners, jewelers, and serious makers who need both metal color engraving and non-metal cutting in one machine, the G3 offers a combination of power, speed, and versatility that is genuinely unmatched at this price point.

As one reviewer noted: “The G3 is compact, well-designed, and comes with thoughtful features like auto-focus, a built-in camera, and easy batch tools that actually make it beginner-friendly”. For advanced users, “the rotary and conveyor extensions unlock a whole new level of productivity”.

The Gweike G3 is not just a laser engraver — it’s a production platform that can grow with your business, from a single machine on a workbench to a scalable production system with conveyor feeding and batch automation. If you’ve been waiting for a machine that truly does it all, the G3 might just be the one.
