Atomstack P50 Pro
Higher ratedRanked #3 in Best Laser Engravers
Atomstack P50 Pro
$369.99as of Jul 7

The Atomstack P50 Pro features a 20W laser diode module combining four individual diodes, making it one of the most powerful diode lasers available. Reviewers noted its integrated air assist system, support for Lightburn software, and limit switches for consistent positioning. However, the premium power comes at a high cost, and the machine lacks an included enclosure. This makes it ideal for users seeking high-power diode laser capabilities but may not suit those on tight budgets or requiring built-in safety enclosures.

Strengths
  • 20W laser diode module combining four individual diodes for high power output
  • Integrated air assist system with variable-speed compressors for improved cutting and safety
  • Supports Lightburn software and can be controlled via USB or Ethernet
Watch-outs
  • Premium power comes with a premium price point
  • No enclosure included in the standard package
Ortur Laser Engraver 4
Ranked #4 in Best Laser Engravers
Ortur Laser Engraver 4
$341.99as of Jul 7

The Ortur Laser Master 3 is a high-end laser engraver/cutter featuring a 20W modular laser and 20000 mm/min speed, designed for both professionals and experienced hobbyists. Reviewers noted its sleek open-frame design and comprehensive accessory inclusion, though assembly complexity and basic air assist pump are drawbacks. It performs well across various materials including wood, acrylic, glass, and aluminum, with specific settings recommended for optimal results. This machine is best suited for users with prior experience in laser technology rather than newcomers.

Strengths
  • 20W modular laser module for high-power engraving and cutting
  • 20000 mm/min maximum speed for efficient operation
  • Open-frame design with sleek low-profile build and concealed wiring
Watch-outs
  • Requires significant assembly effort with disassembled main components
  • Not suitable for beginners due to complexity of setup and alignment

How they stack up

Atomstack P50 Pro

The Atomstack P50 Pro's 20W diode laser power exceeds that of the xTool D1 Pro and A5 Pro, but it lacks the included safety features and tutorials that make those models more approachable. It also doesn't have the built-in fume extraction or air assist of the xTool P2, and its lack of an enclosure makes it less safe than the xTool P2.

Ortur Laser Engraver 4

The Ortur Laser Engraver 4 surpasses the xTool D1 Pro in power with its 20W modular laser and high-speed operation, but it requires more complex setup and lacks the included tutorials and ease of assembly that the D1 Pro provides. It also doesn't match the xTool P2's built-in fume extraction or the Atomstack P50 Pro's air assist system.
