Pros & Cons
Creality Falcon2 40W
What we like
- Most powerful open-frame Falcon2 diode array (8×5.5W)
- Cuts 20mm cork or thin 0.15mm stainless steel in a single pass
- Integrated, adjustable air assist
- Fast 25,000 mm/min rated speed
Watch out for
- Open frame at 40W is a real exposure risk without an added hood and glasses
- No camera or WiFi, manual focus only
- Price range overlaps confusingly with the enclosed Falcon2 Pro 22W
Creality Falcon2 Pro 40W
What we like
- Includes a bonus 1.6W fine-detail laser module (not bundled with the 22W)
- 600mm/s CoreXY speed with enclosed camera positioning
- Deep cutting power at 40W inside a Class 1 enclosure
- Air assist and multi-point safety monitoring standard
Watch out for
- No autofocus — manual leveling despite Pro branding
- No WiFi
- Pricier than the 22W tier for buyers who don't need the extra power
