Atomstack A10 Pro V2 vs Sculpfun S30 Pro 10W
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Two diode lasers with the same 10 W optical rating and nearly identical work areas: they do the same job, and price (€259 against €599.99) is the biggest gap in the data. The choice comes down to what surrounds the laser module: connection, software, air assist.

| 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. | Fully compatible with LightBurn and LaserGRBL for Windows and macOS systems. The 32-bit motherboard can automatically manage the Air Assist activation. |
The differences that matter
- €259 → €599.99, at the same 10 W optical power and 455 nm: the extra spend does not put more power on the workpiece.
- 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and app (A10 Pro V2): jobs start from a PC or from an Android or iOS phone.
- Air assist switched on by the 32-bit board (S30 Pro): the air follows the job without switching it on by hand.
- 410 versus 385 mm on the long side: a 400 mm long piece fits on the A10 Pro V2 and not on the S30 Pro.
Which one to choose
Choose A10 Pro V2 if…
You engrave and cut wood, acrylic and leather on a home bench, sending jobs from LightBurn or the app over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or USB, for €259. The bed is 410 × 380 mm. The trade-off: no autofocus and no rotary.
Choose S30 Pro 10W if…
You work in LightBurn or LaserGRBL on Windows or macOS and want the 32-bit board to switch the air assist on by itself. The trade-off: €340 more for the same optical power, a 385 × 380 mm bed and a design from 2022 (the other machine dates from 2024).
