Does the Brand Matter When Choosing Between Longer, Ortur, and SCULPFUN Diode Lasers?

Published · By the Laser Lineup editors

Summary

Compare by machine type first. All three brands sell large-format machines, small enclosed ones, and dual-source models with an infrared laser side by side, so two products from the same brand can be built for completely different jobs. Settle the size of what you'll make and the laser type you need, then compare power, safety features, included accessories, and support among machines of the same type.

Prices swing with sales and clearance. SCULPFUN's G9 and SF-A9 were both marked as clearance items. Ortur's Laser Master 3 page doesn't state the standard work area in text.

Within SCULPFUN alone, the S70 MAX and S40 MAX are large 830 × 800 mm diode machines, while the iCube Ultra is a small 150 × 135 mm unit that SCULPFUN says meets Class 1 safety standards. The G9, a galvo machine with infrared and diode lasers, is also rated Class I. Longer's compact Ray5 mini and miniS (the miniS is described as having Class I safety protection) and its 385 × 385 mm Ray5 40W likewise need different amounts of space and suit different work.

Safety gear on the large machines

SCULPFUN lists tilt detection, flame detection, an emergency stop, a safety lock, and OD4+ goggles for the S70 MAX and S40 MAX. Longer lists an emergency stop, flame and motion sensors, limit switches, and eye protection for the Ray5 40W, which also has automatic air assist. Ortur includes an air pump with the 20W Laser Master 3.

Limit switches aren't standard across Longer's Ray5 5W/10W/20W family. The 5W and 10W versions ship without them, and they're sold separately.

Software and support

The Longer Ray5, Ortur Laser Master 3, and SCULPFUN S40 MAX all work with both LightBurn and LaserGRBL. SCULPFUN's G9, a galvo machine, needs LightBurn Pro.

Longer's Ray5 5W support page collects manuals, firmware, laser-module replacement instructions, and troubleshooting articles in one place.
