Pronto 35 vs Pronto 45 — When the Larger Bed Is the Right Decision
The Pronto 35 and Pronto 45 share the same laser platform: same 100W CO2 tube, same 1000 mm/s maximum engraving speed, same autofocus with red dot indicator, same upgraded X/Y/Z transmission, same 8.7" workpiece height, same 318 CFM fan, same safety systems, and same software compatibility.
The defining difference is the working area. The Pronto 35's 27.6" × 19.7" engraving field is the right size for a large portion of everyday CO2 laser production work. The Pronto 45's 39.4" × 23.6" (1000 × 600mm) engraving area is the right size when that field becomes the constraint:
Larger individual pieces in one setup. Sign blanks up to 39.4" long, wide award plaques, full decorative panels, and large custom pieces that require repositioning on the Pronto 35 process in a single setup on the Pronto 45.
More pieces per batch layout. The Pronto 45 provides approximately 60% more working area than the Pronto 35 — fitting significantly more pieces per nested job file, reducing load-and-unload cycles, and increasing output per shift at the same engraving speed.
A 45.3" × 1.5" front and back pass-through — wider than the Pronto 35's pass-through — accommodating even longer flat material through a larger opening for continuous-format production work.
If your current production regularly fills the Pronto 35 bed or requires material repositioning mid-job, the Pronto 45 is the direct solution. Contact our team if you're unsure which bed size fits your typical project dimensions.
100W + 1000 mm/s — Production Throughput at Large-Format Scale
The combination of 100W output and 1000 mm/s speed on a 39.4" × 23.6" bed creates a production capability that neither speed nor bed size alone would deliver:
1000 mm/s across a 39.4" field. At 1000 mm/s, the Pronto 45 traverses the full 39.4" length of the working area significantly faster than a 600 mm/s machine covers the same or smaller distance. For a batch of 30 wooden coasters, 20 acrylic awards, or 15 large sign panels — the difference in time per piece compounds directly into daily output capacity.
100W for genuine cutting headroom. At 100W, the machine handles thick-material cutting at the ceiling of the Pronto 45's design parameters — dense hardwood, heavy MDF, and thick acrylic — with single-pass capability that 60W or 80W machines require multiple passes to match. For a shop that both engraves at high speed and cuts at commercial thicknesses daily, 100W provides the power that keeps pace with the 1000 mm/s motion system.
The upgraded transmission system that makes 1000 mm/s practical on a larger bed:
X-axis V-wheel: Smooth, low-friction lateral movement that maintains speed through the full length of the 39.4" travel.
Y-axis high-precision belt: Accurate positioning and consistent tension during rapid direction changes across the 23.6" depth.
Z-axis ball screw: Stable, precise workbed elevation that works with autofocus to maintain correct focal height across different material thicknesses.
Autofocus + Red Dot — Correct Focus on Every Material, Every Job
On a 39.4" × 23.6" bed at 100W, material setup efficiency matters as much as engraving speed — because time spent focusing and positioning is time the laser isn't producing.
Autofocus: Detects material height and adjusts the focal distance automatically. For a production shop cycling between 6mm plywood, 3mm acrylic, 10mm MDF, and 2mm leather throughout the day, autofocus removes the manual calibration step on every material change — each height change becomes a button press rather than a 2–3 minute manual process.
Red dot indicator: Makes the optical path visible before the laser fires, providing precise origin positioning and alignment confirmation before energy is applied. For large-bed batch setups where 20+ pieces are positioned across the 39.4" field, the red dot confirms the full layout is correctly referenced before a full batch run commits.
For a production shop at 100W on a 39.4" field, where misfired jobs waste expensive material and machine time, the combination of autofocus and red dot isn't a convenience feature — it's a quality control system built into the workflow.
45.3" Pass-Through + 8.7" Height — No Project Size Has a Hard Limit
Front and back pass-through (45.3" × 1.5" / 1150 × 40mm): The Pronto 45's pass-through is wider than the Pronto 35's — accommodating material that's longer than 39.4" without requiring material width reduction. For a sign shop processing boards and panels that exceed standard bed length, continuous sequential processing through the pass-through removes the effective length limit.
8.7" (220mm) maximum workpiece height: Allows assembled trophies, thick dimensional lumber, large foam pieces, and taller cylindrical objects to fit inside the machine without modification. For an awards business engraving finished assemblies, the 8.7" clearance means the finishing step stays single-step — no disassembly required to engrave.
These two specifications together ensure that neither the length, width, nor height of the workpiece creates a hard production limit on the Pronto 45.
318 CFM Turbocharged Fan + 3.2X Air Boost — Smoke Removal at 100W Scale
At 100W on a nearly 40" × 24" bed, smoke and debris generation during sustained cutting sessions is significant. The Pronto 45 addresses this with the same integrated airflow upgrades as the Pronto 35:
318 CFM turbocharged fan: High-capacity extraction that clears smoke from the cutting zone fast enough to maintain clean air throughout sustained 100W cutting sessions.
3.2X air pump boost: Increased air assist flow for better debris clearing at the cut point during thick-material cutting — protecting the focus lens from contamination and maintaining cut edge quality across extended production runs.
For a shop running the Pronto 45 at 100W for 6–8 hours, the airflow capacity determines how long clean cut quality is maintained between lens cleaning intervals and how clear the working environment stays for the operator.
Safety Systems Scaled for Professional Production
Class-1 safety positioning: Professional production environment rating.
Real-time temperature monitoring: The machine stops, resets, and alerts the operator if it overheats — protecting the 100W tube and workpiece from thermal damage.
Built-in pressure sensors: Trigger an alarm if air assist pressure drops below the set threshold — catching potential cut quality issues before they affect a production batch.
Flame-retardant PC board: Reduces fire risk during sustained high-power operation.
Water chiller required: The 100W CO2 tube requires active water cooling for sustained production use. A CW-5200 series or higher-capacity chiller appropriate for 100W operation should be budgeted alongside the machine. Contact our team for compatible chiller guidance.
LightBurn + RDWorks + Ethernet — Professional Software and Connectivity
RDWorks bundled on USB flash drive. LightBurn and CorelLaser compatible (a LightBurn license is included free with this machine, courtesy of The Maker's Chest — Windows, macOS, Linux).

Pronto 35 vs Pronto 45 — When the Larger Bed Is the Right Decision
The Pronto 35 and Pronto 45 share the same laser platform: same 100W CO2 tube, same 1000 mm/s maximum engraving speed, same autofocus with red dot indicator, same upgraded X/Y/Z transmission, same 8.7" workpiece height, same 318 CFM fan, same safety systems, and same software compatibility.
The defining difference is the working area. The Pronto 35's 27.6" × 19.7" engraving field is the right size for a large portion of everyday CO2 laser production work. The Pronto 45's 39.4" × 23.6" (1000 × 600mm) engraving area is the right size when that field becomes the constraint:
Larger individual pieces in one setup. Sign blanks up to 39.4" long, wide award plaques, full decorative panels, and large custom pieces that require repositioning on the Pronto 35 process in a single setup on the Pronto 45.
More pieces per batch layout. The Pronto 45 provides approximately 60% more working area than the Pronto 35 — fitting significantly more pieces per nested job file, reducing load-and-unload cycles, and increasing output per shift at the same engraving speed.
A 45.3" × 1.5" front and back pass-through — wider than the Pronto 35's pass-through — accommodating even longer flat material through a larger opening for continuous-format production work.
If your current production regularly fills the Pronto 35 bed or requires material repositioning mid-job, the Pronto 45 is the direct solution. Contact our team if you're unsure which bed size fits your typical project dimensions.
100W + 1000 mm/s — Production Throughput at Large-Format Scale
The combination of 100W output and 1000 mm/s speed on a 39.4" × 23.6" bed creates a production capability that neither speed nor bed size alone would deliver:
1000 mm/s across a 39.4" field. At 1000 mm/s, the Pronto 45 traverses the full 39.4" length of the working area significantly faster than a 600 mm/s machine covers the same or smaller distance. For a batch of 30 wooden coasters, 20 acrylic awards, or 15 large sign panels — the difference in time per piece compounds directly into daily output capacity.
100W for genuine cutting headroom. At 100W, the machine handles thick-material cutting at the ceiling of the Pronto 45's design parameters — dense hardwood, heavy MDF, and thick acrylic — with single-pass capability that 60W or 80W machines require multiple passes to match. For a shop that both engraves at high speed and cuts at commercial thicknesses daily, 100W provides the power that keeps pace with the 1000 mm/s motion system.
The upgraded transmission system that makes 1000 mm/s practical on a larger bed:
X-axis V-wheel: Smooth, low-friction lateral movement that maintains speed through the full length of the 39.4" travel.
Y-axis high-precision belt: Accurate positioning and consistent tension during rapid direction changes across the 23.6" depth.
Z-axis ball screw: Stable, precise workbed elevation that works with autofocus to maintain correct focal height across different material thicknesses.
Autofocus + Red Dot — Correct Focus on Every Material, Every Job
On a 39.4" × 23.6" bed at 100W, material setup efficiency matters as much as engraving speed — because time spent focusing and positioning is time the laser isn't producing.
Autofocus: Detects material height and adjusts the focal distance automatically. For a production shop cycling between 6mm plywood, 3mm acrylic, 10mm MDF, and 2mm leather throughout the day, autofocus removes the manual calibration step on every material change — each height change becomes a button press rather than a 2–3 minute manual process.
Red dot indicator: Makes the optical path visible before the laser fires, providing precise origin positioning and alignment confirmation before energy is applied. For large-bed batch setups where 20+ pieces are positioned across the 39.4" field, the red dot confirms the full layout is correctly referenced before a full batch run commits.
For a production shop at 100W on a 39.4" field, where misfired jobs waste expensive material and machine time, the combination of autofocus and red dot isn't a convenience feature — it's a quality control system built into the workflow.
45.3" Pass-Through + 8.7" Height — No Project Size Has a Hard Limit
Front and back pass-through (45.3" × 1.5" / 1150 × 40mm): The Pronto 45's pass-through is wider than the Pronto 35's — accommodating material that's longer than 39.4" without requiring material width reduction. For a sign shop processing boards and panels that exceed standard bed length, continuous sequential processing through the pass-through removes the effective length limit.
8.7" (220mm) maximum workpiece height: Allows assembled trophies, thick dimensional lumber, large foam pieces, and taller cylindrical objects to fit inside the machine without modification. For an awards business engraving finished assemblies, the 8.7" clearance means the finishing step stays single-step — no disassembly required to engrave.
These two specifications together ensure that neither the length, width, nor height of the workpiece creates a hard production limit on the Pronto 45.
318 CFM Turbocharged Fan + 3.2X Air Boost — Smoke Removal at 100W Scale
At 100W on a nearly 40" × 24" bed, smoke and debris generation during sustained cutting sessions is significant. The Pronto 45 addresses this with the same integrated airflow upgrades as the Pronto 35:
318 CFM turbocharged fan: High-capacity extraction that clears smoke from the cutting zone fast enough to maintain clean air throughout sustained 100W cutting sessions.
3.2X air pump boost: Increased air assist flow for better debris clearing at the cut point during thick-material cutting — protecting the focus lens from contamination and maintaining cut edge quality across extended production runs.
For a shop running the Pronto 45 at 100W for 6–8 hours, the airflow capacity determines how long clean cut quality is maintained between lens cleaning intervals and how clear the working environment stays for the operator.
Safety Systems Scaled for Professional Production
Class-1 safety positioning: Professional production environment rating.
Real-time temperature monitoring: The machine stops, resets, and alerts the operator if it overheats — protecting the 100W tube and workpiece from thermal damage.
Built-in pressure sensors: Trigger an alarm if air assist pressure drops below the set threshold — catching potential cut quality issues before they affect a production batch.
Flame-retardant PC board: Reduces fire risk during sustained high-power operation.
Water chiller required: The 100W CO2 tube requires active water cooling for sustained production use. A CW-5200 series or higher-capacity chiller appropriate for 100W operation should be budgeted alongside the machine. Contact our team for compatible chiller guidance.
