Sculpfun S40 Max vs Sculpfun S70 Max
Technical comparison · Diode laser (405–460 nm)
Both Sculpfun lasers have the same 830×800 mm work area and the same 36,000 mm/min top speed, so space isn't what separates them. The deciding factor is optical power, 48 W against 70 W, and how much dark acrylic or thick wood you want to cut.

The differences that matter
- Optical power 48 W vs 70 W → dark acrylic cuts up to 6 mm on the S40 Max and up to 10 mm on the S70 Max
- Paulownia: 30 mm declared only for the S70 Max → for thick softwood it's the only one of the two with a figure
- Price: the S40 Max costs €424 less → with the same 830×800 mm bed, the difference pays for power, not space
Which one to choose
Choose S40 Max if…
A shop making signs, panels and engravings on plywood and dark acrylic up to 6 mm is well served by the S40 Max: it costs €424 less and comes with autofocus and air assist included. The trade-off is thickness: it stops sooner on dark acrylic, and it has no declared cutting figure for very thick wood.
Choose S70 Max if…
Anyone cutting dark acrylic up to 10 mm or paulownia up to 30 mm to order, figures declared by the manufacturer, needs the S70 Max's 70 W. The trade-off is price: €424 more for a machine with the same 830×800 mm bed.
