Pros & Cons
ULS VLS3.60DT
What we like
- Larger 24"×12" work area than the VLS2.30DT at a similar footprint
- Up to 60W CO2 — enough for cutting moderately thick wood and acrylic
- Rapid Reconfiguration™ tool-free laser source swaps
- Materials database automates power/speed/focus settings
- Well-established reseller and support network in North America
Watch out for
- Quote-only pricing through resellers — base configuration alone runs into five figures
- Requires a dedicated Windows PC via USB — no standalone control panel
- No camera registration or WiFi
- Air compressor for gas assist sold separately
- Smaller work area than ULS's Platform Series (VLS3.75/4.75/6.75)
ULS VLS3.75
What we like
- Up to 75W CO2 — noticeably more cutting depth than the Desktop Series
- Larger 7in (178mm) rotary capacity than the Desktop Series (5in/127mm)
- Free-standing cabinet with stronger built-in exhaust than desktop models
- Rapid Reconfiguration™ tool-free laser source swaps
- Same compact 24"×12" work area as the Desktop Series for shops with limited floor space
Watch out for
- Quote-only pricing through authorized resellers
- Same 24"×12" work area as the much smaller/cheaper Desktop Series — no size advantage
- Heavy at 235 lbs (107kg) — needs a permanent location
- Requires a dedicated Windows PC via USB
- No camera registration or WiFi
