In this in-depth review, I test the largest diode laser engraver I've ever reviewed — the Sculpfun S70 Max. This 70W laser cutter features an impressive 830x800mm engraving area, a 12-diode laser module with autofocus, wireless connectivity, offline control, and a powerful 50L/min air assist. Last year she cut thousands of pieces by hand. When I found out about it, I offered to use my MPCNC with a NEJE E40 (~10W) to do the work. It was a life saver for her, but I spent many hours cutting. I was able to cut through 4 layers. Once limited to low-power engraving, diode lasers have evolved significantly, offering impressive power levels, increased versatility, and enhanced user-friendliness at increasingly affordable price points. In 2025, these compact and often open-frame machines are no longer just for hobbyists;. Extreme Power, Unmatched Depth: With up to 77W laser output, A70 Max cuts 25–28mm wood in a single pass—effortlessly handling the toughest materials. 01mm precision for perfect detail.
