Expert reviews, detailed comparisons, and buying guides for lasers, 3D printers, and CNC machines.
Confused by all the laser options? Learn the simple Size-System-Spectrum framework that matches the right laser to your actual projects—wood signs, metal jewelry, or whatever you're making.

80W CO2 cutting power meets 4-camera automation. Compare vs P2S, OneLaser XRF, Thunder Bolt, and Hydra 7. Real benchmark tests reveal the 2G vs 3G acceleration gap.

After 3 months testing this 60W MOPA fiber laser, I'd skip the $6,500 dual version and buy the $5,000 single instead—then spend the difference on a separate diode laser with actual air assist.
Our comprehensive comparison tool lets you view specs side-by-side, helping you find the perfect laser cutter for your needs and budget.
