Sculpfun S10 vs Sculpfun S30 10W
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Same declared optical power (10 W) and the same launch year: the choice is not between two different lasers but between a cheaper USB-only model and one with a 32-bit board, Bluetooth and offline work. The S30 10W costs €130 more (about €600 against €470).

| Software notes | Compatible with major engraving software such as LightBurn and LaserGRBL. It connects via USB port and does not support offline use with SD memory cards. | The 32-bit motherboard is fully compatible with LightBurn (including M8 air control) and LaserGRBL. It also supports Bluetooth connectivity and offline printing via SD card. |
The differences that matter
- SD card and Bluetooth on the S30 10W only → it can work offline; the S10 needs the USB connection.
- Bed 410 × 400 mm against 380 × 385 mm → the S10 fits pieces 30 mm wider and 15 mm deeper.
- Declared minimum resolution 5 µm against 10 µm → it only matters for very fine detail engraving.
- Same declared optical power (10 W) → cutting depth in one pass is not what separates them.
Which one to choose
Choose S10 if…
you engrave with the computer connected over USB and want to save €130, with a slightly larger bed. The trade-off: no offline work from an SD card and no Bluetooth, so the PC stays on for the whole job.
Choose S30 10W if…
you want to start jobs from an SD card or over Bluetooth and let the machine work without the computer. You pay €130 more and get a smaller bed.
