Sculpfun S10 vs Sculpfun S30 Pro 10W
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
The S10 and the S30 Pro use the same 10 W nominal, 455 nm diode laser, so the choice isn't about power. The board decides: the S30 Pro's 32-bit board switches Air Assist on by itself, while the S10 costs €130 less and has a slightly bigger bed.

The differences that matter
- Price €469.99 against €599.99 → the S30 Pro costs €130 more.
- Bed 410×400 mm against 385×380 mm → a 40 cm piece fits on the S10, not on the S30 Pro.
- Air Assist → on the S30 Pro the 32-bit board switches it on by itself, one less step on every job.
- Precision declared by the manufacturer, 0.01 mm against 0.005 mm → it matters for small detail.
Which one to choose
Choose S10 if…
Engraving panels and boards up to 410×400 mm in one go, with the computer connected over USB for the whole job, because the S10 doesn't read from an SD card. You go without the automatic Air Assist control of the 32-bit board, and with a coarser declared precision.
Choose S30 Pro 10W if…
Runs of fine-detail engravings, where you start the file and the board turns Air Assist on with no intervention. You pay €130 more and the bed stops at 385×380 mm, so a piece 40 cm wide stays out.
