Sculpfun S30 Pro 10W vs Sculpfun S9 Pro
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Both machines declare the same 10 W of optical power and are not in different categories: the roughly €100 gap is almost all that separates them. The S9 Pro costs less and has the larger bed, while the S30 Pro has a 32-bit board that handles the air assist.

The differences that matter
- Price €599.99 vs €499 → the S9 Pro costs about €100 less.
- Bed 385×380 vs 400×410 mm → the S9 Pro takes parts 15×30 mm larger.
- Same 10 W optical power → with equal declared power, the choice is about price, bed size and air assist handling.
Which one to choose
Choose S30 Pro 10W if…
you use air assist and want the 32-bit board to switch it on by itself, working from LightBurn or LaserGRBL. The bed is 385×380 mm and the price €599.99: you accept a smaller bed than 400×410 mm and about €100 more.
Choose S9 Pro if…
you engrave and cut with 10 W on formats up to 400×410 mm, sending NC, BMP, JPG, PNG and DXF files over USB. It cuts wood up to 15 mm and acrylic up to 10 mm. It costs about €100 less. The limit is the same as the other machine's: no autofocus and no compatible rotary.
