What This Means for You
Work Area
A larger work area gives you more room for larger projects or for batching multiple smaller parts. Whether you’re cutting signs or engraving on large panels, more space means more flexibility.
Laser Power
Higher wattage means faster cutting and the ability to tackle thicker materials. The 80W on the Pro gives a notable boost in productivity and material range.
Controller (Ruida RDC6445S)
The industry-leading Ruida controller offers reliable performance, advanced features like job queuing and rotary support, and seamless integration with Lightburn for easy design-to-cut workflows.
Motors (Closed Loop NEMA 23)
Closed-loop stepper motors provide precision and eliminate skipped steps or loss of position, giving you smooth cuts and consistent engraving every time—even at high speeds.
Auto-Focus & Red Dot
Auto-focus saves time and ensures perfect focus with every job. The red dot alignment feature makes setup intuitive—what you see is what you cut or engrave.
Pass-Through Doors
Front and rear pass-through doors allow for feeding oversized workpieces, enabling cuts that exceed the normal bed size. This expands your creative options dramatically.
Speed & Software
With a max speed of 1000 mm/s and support for Lightburn, jobs run fast and efficiently with clean control over vector and raster work.
