The numbers, drawn out.
Spec sheets are hard to compare in your head. These aren't. Hover anything for details and click to open the full breakdown.
Overall Index score, highest first.
One number from six scores: cutting, detail, metal, ease, safety and value. It's a starting point, not a verdict. A UV specialist will never top a ranking that rewards cutting, and that's fine.
Up and to the left is where the deals live.
The dashed line is the value frontier: for each step up in score, the cheapest machine that gets you there. Anything far below it is charging for something other than performance, like brand, software or support.
How much fits on the bed.
Every published work area drawn from the same corner, in millimetres. Hover to find the smallest bed under your cursor. Galvo fields are small by design; they win on speed, not size. Pass-through slots and conveyors can extend some of these.
Index points per $1,000 spent.
A blunt instrument, and it loves cheap machines. Still, it's a useful gut check when two machines feel close.
