Sculpfun S30 Pro 10W vs Sculpfun S70 Max
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Sculpfun S30 Pro 10W and S70 Max are not two sizes of the same machine: 10 W optical output against 70 W, a 385 × 380 mm bed against 830 × 800 mm. The first is a benchtop laser for engraving and small parts, the second works whole panels and takes up about a metre on each side.

The differences that matter
- 10 W against 70 W optical → two categories of machine: you choose on the job (benchtop engraving or panels), not on savings.
- Bed 385 × 380 mm against 830 × 800 mm → a 60 cm panel is worked whole only on the S70 Max.
- Autofocus only on the S70 Max → on the S30 Pro the focus height is set by hand at every change of material.
- Price 599.99 € against 1499 € → about 900 euros more for size and power.
Which one to choose
Choose S30 Pro 10W if…
Engraving and small parts on an ordinary bench: the machine measures about 55 × 60 cm and costs about 900 euros less. The trade-off is manual focusing and a bed where a whole panel will not fit.
Choose S70 Max if…
A sheet of plywood worked whole, without splitting it: the manufacturer states cuts up to 20 mm in plywood, 30 mm in paulownia and 10 mm in dark acrylic, as limits rather than everyday work. It has autofocus and a TS1 touchscreen for working without a PC. The bill: about 900 euros more and a footprint of about 98 × 100 cm.
