70W Atomstack A70 Pro Diode Laser Engraver- Better Than a CO2? (Review and Test)

In this video I will review and test the Atomstack A70 Pro, one of the most powerful diode laser engravers on the market today, boasting a 70W diode laser module! Compared to its predecessors, the Atomstack A70 Pro also has a significantly improved mechanical gantry, allowing it to achieve faster speeds and better precision. In this video I will test to see what the Atomstack A70 Pro can really do through a series of practical real-life tests.

You have got a cutting beast with that machine! I love the autofocus and the 10mm black acrylic looks like a good cut but the 44mm wood... oh, wow, not much burning, very good!

[@malcolmturton9779]

It makes me wonder just how much further they can go with power on these diode lasers. It would certainly need an enclosure. Congratulations to the winner of the WeCreat.

[@JTMakesIt]

They can definitely go further, but I agree, enclosure will be needed.

[@MrWisselwessel]

I'm new to the game and using your videos to determine which one to buy. Currently i'm focussed on the Sculpfun S30 ultra 33w as it is a nice allround entry level machine. This one looks very nice but price goes up a bit. Why would it need an enclosure though?

[@JTMakesIt]

Good choice. Enclosure helps to retain the smoke an odors and vent them controllably out through a hose. Without enclosure your room will fill with smoke when cutting if it is not well ventilated.

$1700! Wow these diodes are getting real expensive fast!

[@JTMakesIt]

Agree, but the quality and power is also going up exponentially!

[@3SIfan86]

@@JTMakesIt it certainly has a lot of great features. Thanks for providing these tests!

[@gusgand]

can it cut 3mm thick white and clear acrylic?

[@JTMakesIt]

No. Diode lasers are not good for these two colors of acrylic
