Sculpfun S30 Ultra 22W vs xTool M1 Ultra Craft Machine
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
S30 Ultra 22W leads on the available specs (starting with work area); M1 Ultra Craft Machine makes sense only for non-technical reasons (availability, support, ecosystem), or if the missing data matters in your case.

| Software notes | Fully compatible with third-party software such as LightBurn and LaserGRBL. No proprietary apps required; connection is handled via USB or integrated Bluetooth. | Control is managed exclusively via xTool Creative Space (XCS), the proprietary software compatible with major desktop and mobile operating systems. XCS handles the multi-tool ecosystem, allowing seamless switching from laser cutting setup to blade cutting or inkjet printing within the same project. The software supports standard vector and raster file formats and includes automatic path optimization tools. Due to the complex multi-tool architecture, the system does not offer native compatibility with industry-standard software like LightBurn, binding the user to the manufacturer's official interface, which receives regular updates. |
