The buying guide
Package and specification details
Compare the square working areas
AtomStack lists 120 × 120 mm for Atelier and AlgoLaser lists 100 × 100 mm for Pixi 10W. Both areas are square, so both spans are recorded. Atelier’s area is a galvo scanning field, and AtomStack’s FAQ says laser intensity is weaker toward its edges; its separately sold R4 conveyor extends the length to 120 × 350 mm. Neither area is the machine’s body size. Check your largest flat item against the stated field before choosing.

Atelier has a built-in HD camera, and AtomStack claims alignment accuracy of up to 1 mm. A built-in positioning camera was not verified for Pixi: its documented workflow uses grid coordinates, and AlgoLaser’s separate LightBurn camera set excludes Pixi. If camera positioning is a requirement, only Atelier documents it. We have not measured either machine’s placement accuracy.

Atelier’s machine-only package lists a power adapter, USB-C cable, exhaust hose and clamp, laser safety goggles, a USB safety key and positioning bars, but no rotary; AtomStack sells its rotary chuck, roller, conveyor and purifier separately. Pixi’s Basic Kit includes an ARR2.0 rotary roller and sample materials, while its smoke purifier belongs to the separate Safe Kit. Air-assist equipment is not documented for either package.

AtomStack lists Laser Safety Class: Class 1 for Atelier, with a fully enclosed design, door-open detection, tilt detection and a USB safety key. Its manual says that disabling the door opening detection, opening the bottom plate or removing a cover reclassifies the laser to Class 4. AlgoLaser documents an integrated enclosure for Pixi; this comparison does not assign Pixi a laser class, and we have not tested either machine’s safety claims.

Atelier lists a 12 W laser output from two combined diodes; the reviewed Pixi package supplies a 10 W diode. A higher nominal output does not establish cutting depth, finish or job time. AtomStack lists 3.5 kg for Atelier and AlgoLaser 3.75 kg for Pixi. Atelier’s manual routes its supplied exhaust hose outside or to an air filter. Neither selected package includes a purifier.

Does the Atelier have a built-in camera?
Yes. AtomStack lists a built-in HD camera and Visual Positioning (Camera). Its up-to-1 mm alignment claim is the manufacturer’s figure, not a CompareFoundry measurement.
