SCULPFUN S70 MAX

What the SCULPFUN S70 MAX can make

The SCULPFUN S70 MAX is a diode laser engraver: its blue laser engraves and cuts wood, plywood, leather, paper, cardboard, fabric and dark or opaque acrylic, and marks coated or painted metal. It cannot cut clear or blue acrylic, which lets blue light through, and bare metal needs far more power or a different laser.

It has a rated laser power of 70 W, an optical output of 72 W, a work area of 830 × 800 mm (32.7 × 31.5 in) and a top engraving speed of 600 mm/s.

The brand states that it cuts up to 20 mm of wood or plywood; thicker material takes several passes, and results depend on the material and air assist.

It works with autofocus, air assist for cleaner cuts and LightBurn and LaserGRBL software.

In the United States the SCULPFUN S70 MAX sells for $1,699, above the median of $399 across 86 diode laser engravers with a US price, among the premium models.

SCULPFUN S70 MAX safety and compliance

The SCULPFUN S70 MAX has flame detection, an emergency stop and a key switch.

Every laser engraver makes smoke and fumes: run it with an exhaust to the outdoors or a fume purifier. Never cut PVC or vinyl, which release corrosive chlorine gas.

The brand's listing does not state FDA compliance. Laser products sold in the United States must meet the FDA's laser performance standard (21 CFR 1040.10) and be reported to the FDA, which issues an accession number; ask the seller for it before buying in the US.
