Rotary Attachment xTool RA3 for Laser Engravers

xTool RA3 – Rotary Attachment for Engraving Flasks, Mugs, and Vases

With the intelligent xTool RA3, you'll discover a new level of possibility in laser engraving, transforming your machine into a universal tool for working with cylindrical, spherical, and even conical objects. This is more than just a rotary module — it's the world's first intelligent system featuring MagSwap™ technology, delivering unprecedented speed and precision in 360-degree engraving.

Revolutionary Versatility: 5-in-1

The RA3 module is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing you to work with virtually any round object. It includes four interchangeable modes combined in a compact system — with MagSwap™ enabling rapid accessory changes:

Roller Rotary Mode: ideal for straight cylindrical objects such as tumblers, bottles, and candleholders. Supports diameters from 3 to 198 mm, making it suitable even for very long workpieces and enabling batch processing.

Chuck Rotary Mode: designed for complex, irregular, or conical shapes — for example, mugs with handles, flasks, or vases. Clamping range is 0 to 130 mm. The advanced T-shaped jaw design ensures a reliable, non-slip grip, even on large and heavy objects.

Sphere Rotary Mode: enables processing of spherical objects such as Christmas baubles or baseballs. Compatible diameter range: 25 to 100 mm.

Ring Rotary Mode: specifically for engraving jewellery rings on both internal and external surfaces. Diameter range: 11 to 70 mm. The single-step 26° angle adjustment function ensures ideal positioning for internal engraving of rings and conical objects.

Full-Wrap Engraving: thanks to a dedicated ring attachment, the module enables seamless engraving across the entire circumference of vases and other rotating objects — a task that was previously extremely challenging.

Intelligent Features and Capabilities

The RA3 elevates rotary engraving to an expert level through the integration of smart technologies that minimise errors and accelerate workflow:

MagSwap™ Technology (Interchangeable Magnetic Modules): a revolutionary tool-free system for mounting and swapping attachments. Switching from chuck to rollers takes literally seconds, increasing work efficiency by up to 2.4× compared to traditional systems.

360° LiDAR Mapping™ (Precise 3D Scanning): in combination with the machine's vision system, the RA3 uses laser mapping to create an accurate 3D model of the object. This allows a real-time preview of the engraving, ensuring ideal positioning even on the most irregular surfaces and complex shapes — preventing costly mistakes.

Automatic Mode Recognition: the system automatically detects which mode (chuck or rollers) is installed and synchronises the settings within the software (xTool Creative Space / LightBurn). This eliminates manual configuration and the errors that come with it.

Batch Processing: for commercial projects, the module supports high-speed batch engraving at up to 1,200 mm/s. You can process multiple identical or different objects (such as mugs) in a single run, significantly reducing turnaround time for large personalised orders.

Advantages of Using the xTool RA3

The RA3 is a key attachment for those who demand excellence and efficiency in engraving:

Seamless 360-Degree Engraving: ensures the ability to apply a design across the entire surface of a cylinder with no visible joins.

Greater Precision: intelligent 3D mapping and automatic positioning guarantee that the engraving is always placed exactly as intended.

Accelerated Workflow: the MagSwap™ system and batch processing functions significantly reduce the time spent on preparation and order fulfilment.

Increased Maximum Object Size: a processing diameter of up to 198 mm in roller mode, combined with a reliable grip for objects weighing up to 2.26 kg (total module weight), opens the door to working with larger and more valuable items.

Ease of Use: plug-and-play installation and intuitive control via the proprietary software (xTool Creative Space / LightBurn) make it accessible to both professionals and beginners alike.

Compatibility and Applications

Compatibility

The xTool RA3 rotary module is designed for full, intelligent integration with xTool P3 laser machines (and generally with xTool P2/P2S), utilising their advanced vision systems (camera and LiDAR) to activate all smart features, including 360° LiDAR Mapping and automatic mode recognition.

Areas of Use

• Gift Personalisation: creating unique inscriptions and designs on mugs, flasks, bottles, and tumblers (materials: glass, ceramic, stainless steel).
• Jewellery: precise engraving on rings and bracelets.
• Décor and Interiors: engraving on vases, candleholders, cylindrical wooden products, as well as baseball bats and other sporting equipment.
• Merchandise and Souvenirs: efficient production of corporate gifts and personalised products in large volumes (batch processing).

With the RA3, you get not just an attachment, but an intelligent 5-in-1 system that delivers high-precision, fast, and versatile rotary engraving — enabling you to bring even the most complex and creative projects to life with outstanding quality.
