SCULPFUN iCube Pro

What the SCULPFUN iCube Pro can make

The SCULPFUN iCube Pro is a diode laser engraver: its blue laser engraves and cuts wood, plywood, leather, paper, cardboard, fabric and dark or opaque acrylic, and marks coated or painted metal. It cannot cut clear or blue acrylic, which lets blue light through, and bare metal needs far more power or a different laser.

It has a rated laser power of 5 W, a work area of 125 × 125 mm (4.9 × 4.9 in) and a top engraving speed of 167 mm/s.

The brand states that it cuts up to 6 mm of acrylic; thicker material takes several passes, and results depend on the material and air assist.

It works with support for a rotary attachment to engrave tumblers and other round objects and LightBurn and LaserGRBL software.

In the United States the SCULPFUN iCube Pro sells for $170, below the median of $399 across 86 diode laser engravers with a US price, among the more affordable models.

SCULPFUN iCube Pro safety and compliance

The SCULPFUN iCube Pro has a fully enclosed design.

Every laser engraver makes smoke and fumes: run it with an exhaust to the outdoors or a fume purifier. Never cut PVC or vinyl, which release corrosive chlorine gas.

The brand's listing does not state FDA compliance. Laser products sold in the United States must meet the FDA's laser performance standard (21 CFR 1040.10) and be reported to the FDA, which issues an accession number; ask the seller for it before buying in the US.
