The main differences come down to size, power, and price:

1. Machine Size

The Bolt series is built as a compact, desktop solution—ideal for home workshops, studios, or businesses with limited space. While we do offer larger versions within the Bolt lineup, the overall design remains focused on small-format use.

The Nova series, on the other hand, includes both mid-size and large-format models, with work areas as large as 1600 × 1000 mm, making it better suited for production environments or users who need to process higher-volume or larger pieces.

2. Laser Power

The Bolt Series offers lower power options, ranging from 30W to 55W.

The Nova series starts at 60W and goes up to 130W, offering much more power for thicker materials or faster production.

3. Price

If you’re on a budget or just getting started, the Bolt Series is more affordable.

The Nova Series, with its higher performance and larger size options, comes at a higher price point—ideal for growing businesses or advanced users.

Nova machines are powerful CO₂ lasers that can work with wood, acrylic, leather, fabric, rubber, glass, anodized aluminum, and more. With higher wattage models (up to 130W), they can also handle thicker materials or cut faster for high-efficiency production.

Yes. Every Nova machine is fully enclosed and includes safety features like lid interlocks, emergency stop buttons, and proper exhaust and air assist systems. It’s suitable for use in classrooms, maker spaces, or small business environments where safety matters.

Not at all! In fact, one of the Nova Series’ standout features is its user-friendly design and easy setup process. At trade shows, our team can go from unboxing to fully operational in just 30 minutes—and you can, too. Unlike many lasers that necessitate a complex alignment upon arrival, our machines are robustly constructed to maintain alignment during transit. This design philosophy ensures that if a machine is prone to misalignment during shipping, it’s likely to require frequent realignments, leading to lost time and unnecessary frustration for you. Inside the box, you’ll find detailed instructions and all essential tools included. And if you need help, our support team is only a call away.

Certainly, that’s possible! We offer the option to purchase an additional rotary attachment that work with your machines. By utilizing the Z-axis control lift system integrated into the machine, you can easily position the rotary attachment. This allows you to engrave designs onto cups or other cylindrical objects. It’s important to note that our system can accommodate objects with a maximum outer diameter of 30 ounces.
