It is a practical choice for professional users who need strong laser power, dependable results, and a cost-effective production solution.
Cleaner Cuts, Sharper Details
The hybrid servo motor enables speeds of up to 1000 mm/s while maintaining smooth and stable movement.
Stable motion helps ensure consistent processing quality. It also features impact protection for improved durability and operational safety.
Dual Air Assist Device
Thunder’s patented dual air assist system includes both high-pressure and low-pressure modes, offering more flexibility than a standard single air assist setup.
High-pressure air assist helps achieve cleaner cuts and reduces burn marks, while low-pressure air assist supports fine engraving with less overheating and lower fire risk.
High-Resolution Live View
The standard beam combiner integrates the laser beam and red dot into the same optical path, allowing the red dot to indicate the actual processing position more accurately.
This helps users align graphics faster, preview placement more easily, and reduce setup errors before cutting or engraving.

FAQS ABOUT THUNDER NOVA
Q1: What support and warranty does Thunder Laser provide for Nova users?
Thunder Laser provides training resources, technical support, video guidance, and after-sales service to help users learn machine operation and solve laser processing questions. The Nova Series includes a 2-year warranty for the whole machine and a 1-year warranty for the laser tube, giving users added confidence for long-term business use.
Q2: Can the Nova Series process long or oversized materials?
Yes. The Nova Series includes a pass-through door design, allowing users to work with longer materials that exceed the standard bed length. This is especially useful for signage, architectural models, long wooden boards, acrylic panels, and other large-format projects.
Q3: What are the advantages of Hybrid Servo Motors?
Hybrid Servo Motors provide fast, stable, and accurate motion control. The Nova Series supports speeds up to 1000mm/s, helping improve productivity for engraving and production jobs. Compared with basic stepper systems, hybrid servo motors offer smoother movement, lower noise, impact protection, and more reliable performance during high-speed operation.
Q4: How does the autofocus function improve cutting and engraving?
Autofocus helps set the correct distance between the laser head and the material surface. A proper focus position is essential for clean cuts, sharp engraving, and consistent results. By reducing manual focusing time and setup errors, autofocus improves workflow efficiency and helps users achieve better results across different materials and thicknesses.
Q5: Does the Nova Series support LightBurn?
Yes. The Nova Series supports LightBurn, a widely used laser software known for its intuitive workflow, direct machine control, and strong user community. This makes it easier for users to design, prepare, and manage cutting or engraving jobs, whether they are beginners or experienced laser operators.
Q6: What is Dual Air Assist, and why is it important?
Dual Air Assist allows the machine to use different airflow settings for cutting and engraving. High-pressure air helps remove smoke and debris during cutting, improving edge quality and reducing burning. Low-pressure air is better for engraving, helping protect fine details while reducing overheating and fire risk. This makes the Nova Series more versatile across different materials and job types.
Q7: How thick can the Nova Series cut?
Cutting thickness depends on the laser power, material type, lens configuration, air assist, and cutting settings. Higher-power Nova models are better suited for thicker wood and acrylic. For materials around 20mm or thicker, higher wattage and proper air assist are recommended to achieve cleaner edges and more stable cutting performance.
Q8: Which Nova model should I choose?
Nova 24 is ideal for small workshops, schools, and compact production spaces. Nova 35 offers a balanced working area and power range for growing businesses. Nova 51 is suitable for larger projects and higher-volume production, while Nova 63 provides the largest workspace for full-size signage, large acrylic work, and industrial-scale applications. The best choice depends on your material size, production volume, and power requirements.
Q9: Is the Nova Series better for cutting or engraving?
The Nova Series is designed for both cutting and engraving. Its DC CO₂ glass tube provides strong cutting power for materials such as wood and acrylic, while Thunder Laser’s motion system, stable laser output, and refined beam quality help deliver clean, detailed engraving results. This makes Nova a practical choice for users who need high cutting capability without sacrificing engraving precision.
Q10: What materials can the Thunder Nova Series cut and engrave?
The Thunder Nova Series can cut and engrave a wide range of non-metal materials, including wood, acrylic, leather, paper, rubber, fabric, cork, plastic, MDF, and more. It can also engrave glass, coated metals, anodized aluminum, ceramics, marble, and painted metals, depending on the application and material surface. For bare metals, marking usually requires a suitable coating or marking spray.
