Atomstack A40 Pro V2 vs Sculpfun S30 Pro 10W
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Nearly identical work area, around 40×40 cm, but very different power: 40 W rated on the A40 Pro V2, 10 W on the S30 Pro. The choice is between that power and about 250 € of extra spend.

| Software notes | The system offers extended compatibility with the industry's leading standard software, ensuring operational flexibility across both Windows and macOS platforms. It fully supports LightBurn, the preferred choice for professional users seeking advanced management of layers, cutting parameters, and vectorization, as well as LaserGRBL, an open-source alternative ideal for simpler and more immediate engraving operations. Additionally, the machine is compatible with the manufacturer's proprietary mobile application, enabling remote control and file transmission via local Wi-Fi. This triple option allows users to adapt their workflow to specific project needs, supporting common vector and raster file formats such as NC, DXF, BMP, and JPG. | 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
- Rated power, 40 W vs 10 W → on the same material the A40 Pro V2 cuts in fewer passes; the S30 Pro needs more.
- Price, about 850 € vs 599.99 € → the A40 Pro V2 costs about 250 € more.
- Manufacturer's app → only the A40 Pro V2 offers it, for sending files over local Wi-Fi, alongside LightBurn and LaserGRBL.
Which one to choose
Choose A40 Pro V2 if…
Jobs that ask for more power, such as cutting in fewer passes on the same material, on a bed of almost 40 cm. It costs about 250 € more; in return there is the manufacturer's app for sending files over local Wi-Fi.
Choose S30 Pro 10W if…
Engraving and cutting with less power at 599.99 €, on a nearly equal bed, with LightBurn or LaserGRBL. The 32-bit board switches on the air assist by itself. When cutting, you accept more passes.
