Sculpfun G9 vs Sculpfun S9 Pro
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
These two diode lasers do not suit the same workpiece: the G9 has a 105×105 mm bed and autofocus, the S9 Pro a 400×410 mm bed and no automatic focusing. The S9 Pro costs €400 less.

| Software notes | Compatible with the free proprietary SGD Laser software (optimized for galvo systems and recommended for beginners) and LightBurn (requires a license and is partially supported for advanced features). | Compatible with major engraving software like LightBurn and LaserGRBL. It connects via USB and supports files in NC, BMP, JPG, PNG, and DXF formats. |
The differences that matter
- Bed 105×105 mm vs 400×410 mm → nothing larger than a palm fits the G9; a 40 cm panel fits the S9 Pro.
- Autofocus yes vs no → on the G9 the machine sets the distance to the workpiece, on the S9 Pro you do.
- Price €899 vs €499 → the G9 costs €400 more for a much smaller bed.
- Free SGD Laser with partial LightBurn support vs LightBurn and LaserGRBL → if you already work in LightBurn, only the S9 Pro gives full support.
Which one to choose
Choose G9 if…
Engraving small objects within 105×105 mm, with the machine setting the distance to the workpiece. It costs €899, uses the free SGD Laser software built for galvo systems, and the manufacturer states a cut of up to 10 mm in wood and 6 mm in acrylic. You give up anything larger than a palm, and LightBurn is only partly supported for advanced functions.
Choose S9 Pro if…
Panels or several pieces at once on a 400×410 mm bed, with LightBurn or LaserGRBL over USB. The stated cut reaches 15 mm in wood and 10 mm in acrylic, and it costs €499. It has no autofocus: you set the distance to the workpiece yourself.
