Our verdict
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
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.
- The range stays on laser engravers, per laser engraver, while MatterHackers spreads across fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, and help centres are the most common channel in this group at 94.7%.
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.
- Only laser engraver are listed, so buyers after a combined printer and engraver basket have to look at MatterHackers rather than Sculpfun.
Ready to try Sculpfun?
Scored 9.2 / 10 by GizmoCue.
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.
Core features
Sculpfun's engraver pairs a 70 watt laser with an enclosed chamber, so the beam and the smoke it produces stay inside the frame while a job runs. The work area is 830 mm, large enough to take full sheet material rather than a small tile, and that size is the detail which separates it from cheaper enclosed machines. Colour is single, so any design needing more than one shade takes separate passes. Cover runs 1 year, so the appeal rests on the bed and the module rather than on long after-sales cover.
How it compares on our data
Sculpfun ranks 2 of 27 on entry price and 2 of 23 on build area, an unusual pairing of cheap and large at the same time. Warranty length is the softer number, sitting at 5 of 20, the middle of the field rather than a standout. Readers who weigh entry price and bed size first, and cover length last, will find that trade-off easy to accept.
The company behind it
The brand trades as SCULPFUN TECHNOLOGY HK CO., LIMITED, is headquartered in Hong Kong and was founded in 2019, so it is a young operation rather than a long-established machine maker. Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with self-serve articles, live chat and email in place of a phone desk. Buyers who prefer a phone line or a decades-old supplier name should weigh the other brands in this group before ordering.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Is the Sculpfun laser engraver enclosed?+
Yes, the Sculpfun engraver is enclosed, which keeps the beam and the smoke it makes inside the cabinet while a job runs. At 70 watt that is worth having, and enclosed chambers are the norm across this group rather than a paid extra. The warranty runs 1 year from purchase.
Can the Sculpfun engraver do more than one colour?+
No, multi colour is a no across the range, so a design needing two shades has to be engraved in separate passes or finished another way. Sculpfun lists laser engravers only, per laser engraver, so there is no second range to step up to. Anyone who needs colour changes in a single pass should check a different brand before buying.
What support do you get with a Sculpfun engraver?+
Support runs on email, chat and help centre only, so a question waits on a written reply or a live chat window rather than a phone call. Help centres are the most common channel in this group at 94.7%, and Sculpfun's own guides cover setup for the 70 watt module.
Where does Sculpfun ship?+
Delivery is listed for a broad set of destinations, including the UK, the US, Japan, Australia, Brazil, Singapore and much of Europe. Buyers in those places can expect the $99 entry point to be usable, while anyone outside the covered list should check delivery before committing. Support questions go through the email, chat and help centre the brand lists.
Who is behind Sculpfun?+
The brand is registered as SCULPFUN TECHNOLOGY HK CO., LIMITED, headquartered in Hong Kong and founded in 2019, so it is a young operation rather than a long-established machine maker. Support comes from the same company through email, chat and help centre. The warranty that comes with the machine runs 1 year.
How long is the Sculpfun warranty?+
Cover runs 1 year, level with the 1 median in this group, and the ranking on cover length is 5 of 20. Buyers who want longer protection should weigh that before committing to a machine whose main draw is the 830 mm bed.
How does Sculpfun compare with Cricut and MatterHackers?+
It sits in a different lane. Sculpfun makes laser engravers only, per laser engraver, while Cricut lists cutting machine and MatterHackers covers fdm printer, resin printer and 3d scanner. If your work needs a printer, a scanner and an engraver in a single basket, MatterHackers is the closer fit; if it is a single large bed for engraving, Sculpfun is.
