Creality Falcon2 Pro S

What the Creality Falcon2 Pro S can make

The Creality Falcon2 Pro S is a diode laser engraver: its blue laser engraves and cuts wood, plywood, leather, paper, cardboard, fabric and dark or opaque acrylic, and marks coated or painted metal. It cannot cut clear or blue acrylic, which lets blue light through, and bare metal needs far more power or a different laser.

It has a rated laser power of 22 W – 40 W depending on the model, an optical output of 22 W and a top engraving speed of 417 mm/s.

The brand states that it cuts up to 15 mm of wood or plywood; thicker material takes several passes, and results depend on the material and air assist.

It works with a camera for positioning designs on the material, autofocus and LightBurn and LaserGRBL software.

In the United States the Creality Falcon2 Pro S sells for $899, above the median of $399 across 86 diode laser engravers with a US price, among the premium models.

Creality Falcon2 Pro S safety and compliance

The Creality Falcon2 Pro S has a fully enclosed design. It is stated as a Class 1 laser product, meaning the beam is contained in normal use.

Every laser engraver makes smoke and fumes: run it with an exhaust to the outdoors or a fume purifier. Never cut PVC or vinyl, which release corrosive chlorine gas.

The brand states FDA compliance: laser products sold in the United States must meet the FDA's laser performance standard (21 CFR 1040.10) and be reported to the FDA, which issues an accession number.

Other compliance the brand states: CE (the manufacturer's declaration of conformity with EU product rules); FCC (US authorisation for the electronics' radio-frequency emissions).
