⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ James Peterson - Packaging Factory Manager
"We’ve been using the REALTOP CNC 2516 Pro Model for five months now, and it’s transformed our production line. The AI-driven path planning has reduced material waste by nearly 20%, and the ±0.1mm precision ensures every box meets client specs. The 1600mm working width handles full sheets without pre-cutting, saving us hours weekly. Setup was smooth thanks to the intuitive touchscreen, and technical support responded within two hours when we had a calibration question."Purchase Date: October 2024 | Usage Period: 5 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amina Khalid - Craft Studio Owner
"I run a small creative studio focused on custom signage and eco-friendly packaging. I was hesitant about investing in a CNC machine, but the Base Model from REALTOP has been a game-changer. It cuts foam, cardboard, and balsa wood with impressive accuracy. The automatic feeding system lets me run jobs unattended, which is huge for a one-person operation. I programmed my first custom design in under 30 minutes—no prior CNC experience needed!"Purchase Date: February 2025 | Usage Period: 3 months
⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Dr. Evan Reed - Industrial Design Lab
"Our university prototyping lab upgraded to the Advanced Model last year, and it’s become the most used machine in the workshop. Students use it for everything from architectural models to packaging mockups. The modular tool system allows quick swaps between scoring, cutting, and creasing heads. Only reason I’m not giving five stars is the initial learning curve with the software—though REALTOP’s tutorial videos helped bridge the gap. After six months of heavy use, it still performs like new."Purchase Date: August 2024 | Usage Period: 8 months

Linda Park - Senior Packaging Engineer, APAC Design Group
"For businesses scaling up from manual die-cutting, the REALTOP 2516 series offers an ideal balance of precision, automation, and cost-efficiency. The Pro Model’s ability to handle up to 20mm corrugated board with AI-optimized nesting is unmatched in its class. I’ve recommended it to three clients transitioning to sustainable, on-demand packaging production."
Carlos Mendez - Tech Director, Urban Makerspace
"We installed the Base Model for our community makerspace, and it’s been a hit. The CE-certified safety guards and emergency stop give us peace of mind with novice users, while the custom path programming keeps advanced users engaged. It’s rare to find a machine that serves both beginners and pros—this one does."
