From the wood shavings wafting out of a wood carving studio to the flickering lasers of an acrylic workshop - desktop laser cutters have become the 'digital carving knives' of the craft industry when it comes to the precise tools needed to get ideas off the ground. This article provides an in-depth review of 10 of the brightest performing devices in the 2025 market, including the Tyvok S1, which redefines the boundaries of creative productivity with its disruptive dual-mode technology.
Why is the Tyvok S1 an industry disruptor?
1.Core parameters: redefining the standard for all-rounders
| Technical Modules | Parameter Highlights | Creation scene value |
| Power Systems | 60W CO₂ laser (continuous power) + 30W CNC milling dual mode | Laser engraving accuracy of 0.02mm, CNC milling depth of 3mm, one-time molding of complex three-dimensional structures |
| Processing range | Base 600×400mm, support expansion to 1.2m×2.4m large format | From small pendants to large wall decorations, one machine covers the needs of full-size creations. |
| Material compatibility | Acrylic / Wood / Leather / PCB/0.5mm metal sheet (with fiber module) | Say goodbye to multiple equipment switching, and create composite materials (e.g. wood inlaid metal, leather sculpture acrylic) with one click. |
| Safe Design | Fully enclosed guard + Intelligent fire extinguishing system + Child lock (UL/CE/FCC certified) | Safe for use in studio/classroom environments, avoiding the risk of laser burns and fire. |
2.Craftsmanship test
Etsy explosive wood relief pendant: on 3mm basswood board, 60W laser head completes 0.02mm precision engraving (hairline level detail) at 1200mm/s, CNC milling synchronized slotting realizes mortise and tenon joints, and the productivity of a single batch of production is 8 times higher than that of traditional handmade.
Leather customized keychain: AI power adjustment system automatically recognizes the leather material, reduces the power to 30% and starts blowing protection, no scorch marks on the edges, and the yield rate increases from 65% to 98%.
Acrylic fixture cutting: 5mm acrylic plate one-time penetration, edge translucency of 92% (ordinary equipment only 80%), eliminating the need for secondary polishing process.
3.Technological breakthrough
solving the industry's three major pain points
Seamless switching between laser engraving (plane art) and CNC milling (three-dimensional processing), no need to change equipment, shortening the creation process by 40%.
Dynamic focusing system automatically adapts to 0.5-50mm material thickness, LightBurn/AI/SVG files are directly readable, and zero-based designers can get started in 30 minutes.
Fully enclosed body with built-in smoke filtration system (99.9% filtration efficiency), with intelligent fire extinguishing sensors (0.1 seconds of rapid response), to create a zero-risk creative space.
Selection Guide
✂️ Acrylic: Translucency Makes the Difference
Recommended: Tyvok S1 (60W laser + blow assist)
Advantage: 5mm thickness cut in one pass without yellow edges, edge transmittance 15% higher than competitors, suitable for high-end gift boxes and LOGO light boxes.
🌳 Wood: full link support from relief to mortise and tenon
Entry level (small engraving): Ortur Laser Master 3 (30W laser, suitable for thin wood panels up to 3mm)
Professional level (three-dimensional processing): Tyvok S1 (CNC milling depth of 3mm + dust extraction system, 80% less wood chip residue), supports multi-material carving in basswood, walnut and pine.
🔪 Thin Metal Slicing: Breaking through the perception that “lasers can't cut metal”.
Optional Tyvok Fiber Pro fiber module can cut 0.5mm stainless steel/aluminum alloy with edge roughness Ra≤3.2μm (equivalent to 1/20 of hair diameter), meeting the fine processing of jewelry inlay, metal bookmarks and so on.

Core Advantages Summary:
Efficiency Crush: Dual-mode processing shortens the production cycle of complex crafts by 50%, and reduces the idle rate of equipment by 30% under the same order quantity.
Compliance: The only desktop model that has passed the China/US/EU triple safety certification, and can apply for 30% green subsidies for exporting to the EU.
Unlimited Expansion: Supports external vacuum pump (adsorption of thin plates) and water cooling system (long time high load), seamlessly upgrading from small creations to industrial prototyping.
Avoid the pit guide
Low-priced models are often labeled “60W peak power”, but the actual continuous power is only 30W, and it takes 3 round trips to cut 5mm acrylic (Tyvok S1 is molded in one go).
Some brands only support self-developed software devices, file format conversion is cumbersome and limited functionality. Prefer LightBurn Deep Compatible models (Tyvok supports layer editing/path optimization/cloud collaboration).
Industry average after-sales response time is 48 hours, Tyvok provides 7×24 online technical support + 500+ service locations worldwide, equipment failure within 48 hours of door-to-door repair.
Choosing the “Tool of the Future” to Embrace Unlimited Creative Possibilities
In 2025, the crafts industry is no longer about “handmade vs. machine” - it's about “how to unleash the potential of creativity with smart tools.” With its dual-mode processing, all-scene adaptation and forward-looking safety design, the Tyvok S1 is not only a device, but also a bridge connecting the “creative idea” and the “commercial realization”. The Tyvok S1 is not only a device, but also a bridge between “creative idea” and “commercial realization”.
