Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better, the Atomstack S20 Pro or NEJE 3 Max?

It depends on your use case. Atomstack S20 Pro is 20W diode with 400×400mm bed. NEJE 3 Max is 12W diode. See the decision guide and side-by-side specs above.

What materials can both the Atomstack S20 Pro and NEJE 3 Max cut or engrave?

Both machines have community-tested settings for 33 shared materials. The settings table above lists every material with side-by-side speed, power, passes, and air assist values for direct comparison.

Is the Atomstack S20 Pro (20W) much faster than the NEJE 3 Max (12W)?

Higher wattage typically means faster cutting and the ability to cut thicker material in fewer passes. The Atomstack S20 Pro (20W) cuts thicker material in single passes and engraves at higher speeds than the NEJE 3 Max (12W). For raster engraving the difference is smaller because surface engraving is limited by mechanical scan speed.
