AlgoLaser Delta 22W
AlgoLaser Delta — enclosed-optional 22W with delta kinematics
Last updated How we evaluate
Released May 2024
What this machine is for
Enclosed-capable 22W AlgoLaser for makers who want delta kinematics
Reference benchmark same job size on every machine so you can compare times fairly.
Laser spot size
~0.08 mm spot
Smaller spot = finer detail (frame motion is usually the same across tiers)
Motion precision: 0.01 mm
Sample engrave job
~12–18 min
Filled photo or logo on birch plywood
10 × 10 cm (4 × 4 in)
Sample cut job
~6–10 min
Simple square cut-out from 3 mm basswood
10 × 10 cm (4 × 4 in)
Times are estimates for the reference job above; your design complexity and settings will change them.
TL;DR
AlgoLaser Delta 22W uses a delta-style motion system in a compact footprint with optional enclosure. Alternative to Cartesian Alpha MK2 — check community for reliability and spare parts before buying.
What this machine is for
Compact AlgoLaser 22W for engraving and light-medium cutting.
