Sculpfun S30 10W vs Sculpfun S30 Ultra 11W
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Two diode lasers from the same family with nearly the same rated power (10 W vs 11 W). The deciding difference is the bed: the Ultra works on a 600 mm square and costs about €100 more.

The differences that matter
- Bed: 380 × 385 mm vs 600 × 600 mm → a panel that fits the Ultra has to be cut down first for the S30 10W.
- Footprint: 55.5 × 59.5 cm vs 80 × 84 cm → the Ultra takes more than twice the bench area.
- Price: €599.99 vs €699 → about €100 for a bed of roughly two and a half times the area.
Which one to choose
Choose S30 10W if…
Choose the S30 10W if you engrave and cut small items that fit its bed and want the smaller machine on the bench: it takes far less space and costs about €100 less. The trade-off: a larger panel does not fit.
Choose S30 Ultra 11W if…
Choose the S30 Ultra 11W if you work large panels or want to lay out several pieces in one engraving without moving the material. The trade-off: it needs a much bigger bench and costs about €100 more.
