Our verdict on each
Creality
Creality suits makers who want FDM and resin printing, scanning and laser engraving under a single roof. The line reaches a 300 mm build volume with multi colour and enclosed models, backed by phone support and a help centre for when a print stalls.
Sculpfun
Sculpfun puts an enclosed 70 watt laser engraver on the market from $99, and its 830 mm bed is far larger than most rivals at that money. It suits makers buying their first engraver on a tight budget, and buyers who need multi colour or longer cover should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons
Creality
Pros
- Breadth: fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner covers FDM printers, resin printers, scanners and laser engravers, where fdm printer and 3d scanner stops at FDM printers and scanners.
- Multi colour printing is offered and enclosed models sit in the same range, so buyers chasing either feature keep a single supplier.
- The laser line includes a 60 W engraver, so printing and engraving arrive through the same catalogue.
Cons
- Build size of 300 mm is modest for oversized work, and Creality ranks 18 of 23 brands on that measure.
- Creality's fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner ends at laser engravers, while fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner also includes a cutting machine, so sheet and vinyl cutting sit with another seller.
- On price from the brand sits mid field at 11 of 27, so the entry price is fair rather than the cheapest on the table.
Sculpfun
Pros
- Entry price of $99 puts a 70 watt engraver within reach of a first project, ranking 2 of 27 on price.
- A 830 mm work area ranks 2 of 23 and sits well above the 390 mm typical across the site.
- The chamber is enclosed, so the beam and the smoke it makes stay in the frame while a 70 watt module runs.
Cons
- Multi colour is a no for the range, and 50% of this group sit in the same spot, so a two shade design needs separate passes.
- Warranty is 1 year, level with the 1 median here, and the ranking on cover length is 5 of 20.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, while 53.9% of brands site wide add a phone line.
Who each suits
Creality
Who it suits
- Makers buying a first machine who want an enclosed, multi colour FDM printer from a maker that also sells scanners.
- Hobby laser users who already print and want both jobs handled through email, phone and help centre.
- Resin and scanning buyers who want a single catalogue for scanning, printing and light engraving.
Who should look elsewhere
- MatterHackers, if your work needs a cutting machine, since fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner includes one and Creality's fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner does not.
- Farnell, if FDM printing and scanning covers you, since fdm printer and 3d scanner is the shorter list.
- SOVOL, if FDM printing alone is enough, since fdm printer is the narrowest catalogue here.
Sculpfun
Who it suits
- Makers who want a large enclosed bed and can live with single colour work.
- First-time buyers, for whom $99 and 1 year cover keep the commitment small next to a workshop bundle from MatterHackers.
- Shoppers in the UK, the US and wider Europe who want laser engraving rather than the cutting machines Cricut sells.
Who should look elsewhere
- Projects needing more than one colour in a pass, since multi colour is a no here; ACMER covers laser engraver and cutting machine for a wider machine mix.
- Workshops that want printers and scanners alongside an engraver, since MatterHackers covers fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner in a single maker range.

Questions about each
Creality
How much does a Creality printer cost at entry?+
Printers start at $199 in the range, and Creality sits at 11 of 27 brands on that starting figure. That is a middle position: the store is not the cheapest way into printing, and it is not pitched at the premium end either. Enclosed machines and the laser engravers cost more.
What kinds of machines does Creality sell?+
The range covers FDM printers, resin printers, scanners and laser engravers under fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner. fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner adds a cutting machine to a similar list, while fdm printer and 3d scanner stops at FDM printers and scanners, so Creality sits between the two in breadth of catalogue.
Sculpfun
How much does a Sculpfun laser engraver cost?+
Sculpfun lists an entry price of $99 for the engraver range, and that is the figure to weigh first, since a laser engraver is a hardware purchase rather than a plan with a renewal charge. The 70 watt module is what that entry point covers, with a 1 year warranty attached.
How big is the work area on a Sculpfun engraver?+
The bed is 830 mm, large enough for full sheet material rather than small tiles. Across the brands compared here the median build area is 390 mm, and Sculpfun ranks 2 of 23 on that measure, so the size is a real step up and not a rounding difference.
