Sculpfun C1 Mini vs WeCreat Vision Pro 45W
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
C1 Mini and Vision Pro 45W are not direct competitors: different use classes, very different prices (~10.6×). C1 Mini costs less (~€169) and is the entry-level choice; Vision Pro 45W offers more capability at a higher price (~€1799). Judge them by budget, not head-to-head.

| Software notes | Natively supports LightBurn and LaserGRBL via direct connection, ensuring full compatibility with major laser control operating environments. | It works with the proprietary WeCreat MakeIt! application (with QuickView preview) and with LightBurn. A switchable 2 W infrared module at 1064 nm is available separately, which adds direct marking of metals and of the plastics the blue diode does not attack. LightBurn support means not depending on the manufacturer's ecosystem for advanced functions. |
