Atomstack Atelier 12W vs Ortur R2 10W
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Two diode lasers with similar stated power, 12 and 10 W, but very different work areas: 120×120 mm on the Atelier, 300×210 mm on the R2. What matters is the size of the pieces you engrave.

| Software notes | The control of the machine is fully compatible with the industry standard LightBurn, ensuring users have access to advanced tools for design, layer management, and vector path optimization directly via USB connection. The proprietary software provided by the manufacturer is also supported, making it ideal for quick engraving and marking operations or for users who prefer a more streamlined interface. The absence of constraints related to cloud architectures ensures full hardware operability even in offline environments, protecting the confidentiality of work files and ensuring the tool's longevity is not dependent on external remote server support. | It can be controlled via the proprietary Inspiraesth app for simplified operations, and natively supports standard software like LightBurn and LaserGRBL. |
The differences that matter
- Field 120×120 mm against 300×210 → a panel fits on the R2, a small object on the Atelier
- About 700 € against 499 € → the Atelier costs about 200 € more for a smaller field
- 3.5 kg against 10.5 kg → the Atelier moves by hand, the R2 stays on the bench
Which one to choose
Choose Atelier 12W if…
The Atelier 12W Galvo is for engraving small objects that fit in a 12 cm field, such as name tags and keyrings. It weighs 3.5 kg on a 30×30 cm base, so it is easy to move. The trade-off: it costs about 200 € more than the R2, and anything wider than 120 mm cannot be engraved.
Choose R2 10W if…
The R2 10W is for engraving panels up to 300×210 mm, or laying out several pieces in one job, at 499 €. The trade-off is bulk: 47×40 cm and 10.5 kg against the Atelier's 3.5 kg, so it needs a permanent spot on the bench.
