Hi Biffo,

Metal cutting with lasers usually requires kilowatts of power together with gas feed and is, in general, a specialized type of equipment and to cut 2mm thick brass sheet would cost well in excess of $20,000 USD.

You need to Google the subject but I suspect that the smallest size units would probably be a fiber laser but even then I doubt it would fit to your X3.
