Sculpfun S10 vs Sculpfun S30 Ultra 11W
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Two diode lasers of the same kind, 10 W against 11 W optical: power is not what decides. What counts is the bed, about 41 × 40 cm against 60 × 60 cm, and the €229 between the prices.

The differences that matter
- 410 × 400 mm bed → 600 × 600 mm: a 60 cm board is engraved whole, without repositioning it halfway through.
- €469.99 → €699: the extra €229 goes almost entirely into the bed, since optical power only moves from 10 to 11 W.
- USB without SD card → Bluetooth: on the S10 the computer stays on and connected for the whole engraving; the S30 Ultra can also be controlled without a cable.
Which one to choose
Choose S10 if…
You engrave name plates, coasters and small wooden panels that fit in 40 cm, with the PC connected over USB for the whole job, because the machine does not read SD cards. It costs €469.99. The trade-off: nothing beyond 410 × 400 mm and no job that runs independently of the computer.
Choose S30 Ultra 11W if…
You engrave a full 60 × 60 cm panel, or lay out several pieces on one board and start the job once, with LightBurn and a Bluetooth connection. The trade-off: €699 and an 80 × 84 cm footprint.
