| Software notes | Compatible with LightBurn (open GRBL protocol), LaserGRBL, AtomStack Studio, and AtomStack APP. Dual USB and 2.4G Wi-Fi connectivity allows for control from PC (Windows, macOS) and mobile devices (Android, iOS). LightBurn requires a separate license, while LaserGRBL is free. GRBL support provides flexibility for advanced workflows without the constraints of proprietary ecosystems. | The device stands out for its excellent software flexibility, tailored for both novices and more experienced users. The proprietary AtomStack Studio app, compatible with mobile devices, integrates AI-based features such as text-to-image generation, making the creative process straightforward. Connectivity is ensured via Wi-Fi, direct hotspot, and USB cable. For those who desire more granular control over processing parameters, the Swift Mini maintains full compatibility with LightBurn, the industry-standard laser engraving software for PC, thus offering a scalable learning curve. |
The differences that matter
- Work area: 410×380 mm on A10 Pro V2 versus 135×145 mm on Swift Mini, nearly 7 times more surface.
- Power: 10 W rated on A10 Pro V2 versus 3 W on Swift Mini, a gap that shows up in cutting, not just engraving.
- Price: Swift Mini costs €170, A10 Pro V2 €259, an €89 gap.
- Rated precision: 0.02 mm on A10 Pro V2 versus 0.1 mm on Swift Mini.
Which one to choose
Choose A10 Pro V2 if…
A10 Pro V2 suits anyone cutting larger pieces, wood or acrylic: its 10 W module cuts wood up to 12 mm and acrylic up to 10 mm, something Swift Mini's 3 W can't do. Its 400 mm/s top speed halves engraving time compared with Swift Mini's 166.67 mm/s.
Choose Swift Mini if…
Swift Mini suits small engraving jobs on a budget: €170 versus €259. The AtomStack Studio app generates images from text, handy for anyone skipping LightBurn. For parts within 135×145 mm it's more than enough.
