Gweike’s New MCore: This Desktop Laser Cutter Packs A 400 W Fiber & 80 W CO2

Capable of cutting stainless steel, acrylic, wood, leather, and more, the Gweike MCore is a two-in-one desktop system for mixed-material production.

Gweike Cloud has introduced the MCore, a hybrid desktop laser system that combines a 400 W fiber laser with an 80 W CO2 laser in one enclosed platform. Designed for mixed-material work, it gives you a single machine for both metal and non-metal processing in a compact footprint.

The Hybrid Solution: Why Two Lasers Are Better Than One

For many workshops, the challenge is not a lack of laser options, but the split between them. CO2 systems are commonly used for non-metals like wood, acrylic, and leather, while fiber systems are usually the go-to choice for cutting or engraving metal. If your shop needs both, the answer has often been straightforward, but expensive: buy two machines or outsource some of your work.

That’s the gap the MCore aims to close. By putting fiber and CO2 capability into one enclosed desktop unit, you can handle a broader range of materials in-house. This is especially useful in mixed-material workflows, such as acrylic signs with metal supports, wood packaging with stainless tags, or short-run custom products that combine decorative and functional parts.

The MCore is best-suited to those whose work is still mostly non-metal, but who want reliable metal capability available when they need it, without having to purchase an extra laser machine.

6 Breakthrough Features Defining the New Desktop Standard

The MCore boasts a variety of features designed with efficiency, efficacy, and ease of use in mind:

  • Dual-Laser System: The MCore combines a 400 W fiber laser for engraving and cutting metals such as stainless steel, brass, and carbon steel with an 80W CO2 laser for engraving and cutting materials such as wood, leather, and acrylic up to 20 mm thick.
  • Ultra Precision: The MCore can achieve 0.01 mm motion accuracy and ± 0.02 mm positioning precision, giving the machine more production-oriented specs than many entry-level desktop systems. The machine also uses servo motors, facilitating smoother and more precise operation when compared with step motors other brands use.
  • 16MP Vision-Guided Workflow: A built-in 16-megapixel ultra-wide camera provides a full-bed preview for drag-and-drop placement, which can make setup easier and help reduce wasted materials.
  • Auto Conveyor System: The optional material feeding system supports longer materials and repeat jobs, extending the MCore beyond the limits of a standard desktop bed.
  • Rotary Attachments: Rotary compatibility allows the MCore to work on cylindrical objects such as tumblers and tubes, offering an additional option beyond flat-sheet cutting and engraving.
  • Enclosed Safety Design: The workspace is fully enclosed and includes an OD5+ certified observation window for safer monitoring during operation.

From Etsy Shops to Industrial Labs: Is the MCore for You?

By bringing fiber and CO2 capability into one enclosure, Gweike has built a system that makes sense for shops that work mostly with non-metals but still occasionally need metal capability. For those tired of outsourcing small metal parts or managing two setups, the MCore offers compact and practical alternative.

The MCore appeals to:

  • Prototype & Small Job Shops: Teams that currently outsource some metal parts but want to bring small-batch cutting of stainless steel or brass in-house.
  • Creative Businesses & Custom Makers: Etsy sellers, sign makers, and mixed-material product businesses that have outgrown standard CO2 or diode systems and want to add metal processing to their workflow.
  • Maintenance & Repair Teams: Automotive shops and factory departments that need on-demand metal parts, shims, or brackets without making room for a full-size industrial fiber laser cutter.
  • Educational Labs & Makerspaces: Schools, labs, and community workshops that value enclosed operation and a more approachable setup for teaching both CO2 and fiber laser applications.

Built on Industrial Experience

Although the MCore is aimed at the desktop market, it comes from a company with a broader industrial background. Gweike Cloud is part of Gweike Laser, which has more than 20 years of experience in laser equipment, including industrial fiber cutting systems. That’s why the MCore is less hobby machine than a compact platform with a strong emphasis on motion control, metal capability, and workflow integration.
