xTool, a prominent brand in the consumer technology space, has made a significant entrance into the custom motorcycle arena as the title sponsor of The Handbuilt Show, running March 27-29, 2026, at the Circuit of The Americas in Austin, Texas. The event brings together builders, fabricators, riders, and enthusiasts for one of North America’s premier motorcycle exhibitions.
The Handbuilt Show highlights the intricacies of custom craftsmanship and mechanical artistry that define motorcycle culture. It serves as an ideal platform for xTool to introduce its innovative technology directly to a community that puts a premium on precision and creativity. During the event, xTool is conducting live demonstrations, showcasing its advanced tools and the various applications they offer in the world of motorcycle fabrication.
Live Demonstrations and Hands-On Experience
As part of the xTool MakerFest Tour, the brand is providing visitors with opportunities to engage with digital fabrication tools that streamline the creative process. This year, xTool features two standout products: the MetalFab and F2 Ultra, both designed for modern fabrication workflows. Attendees can watch live demonstrations of laser welding outdoors and explore a variety of indoor applications focused on engraving, marking, prototyping, and customization relevant to custom motorcycle builders and metalworking shops.
The broader showcase of xTool’s products gives visitors insights into how the company’s ecosystem supports creative production across various fields. By being present at an influential event like The Handbuilt Show, xTool not only gets exposure to a new target audience but also becomes a part of the supporting framework that fosters innovation and creativity within the motorcycle community.

Alan Stulberg, Founder of Revival Cycles and one of the event's organizers, expressed enthusiasm about xTool's participation. He noted that the company’s tools significantly lower the barrier between conceptualization and execution, helping builders quickly translate their ideas into reality. “Tools like this don't replace craftsmanship; they expand it,” Stulberg explained. The fast, precise, and accessible technology from xTool helps in various tasks, from producing templates to creating repeatable parts, thus solving real-world challenges in fabrication shops.
Kyle Morrison, xTool's Community Marketing Manager, echoed Stulberg's sentiments, emphasizing the company's commitment to supporting creators and builders within the motorcycling sphere. “Handbuilt is powered by a creative community that's constantly building, experimenting, and inspiring others. We're proud for xTool to support that energy in a real way,” he stated. For Morrison, as a motor enthusiast, working with xTool at this event feels particularly fitting, attributing much of the detail and devotion found in motorcycle culture to the freedom it offers.
