Frequently asked questions
Which Falcon2 Pro power should I buy?
22W for engraving and cutting up to about 10 mm wood; 40W if you regularly cut thick wood or acrylic; 60W for production cutting. The 40W and 60W also add a 1.6W detail module.
Can the Falcon2 Pro engrave metal?
The standard diode versions cut thin stainless sheet at higher powers (0.15 mm at 40W, 0.2 mm at 60W per Creality) and mark coated metal. For detailed bare-metal marking choose a version with the 2W or 4W IR module – it can't be added later.
Is the Falcon2 Pro safe indoors?
Creality rates it FDA Class 1 with a lid-open safety stop and multi-direction sensors. You still need to vent smoke outdoors or through a purifier.
