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 S 40W
What we like
- Autofocus plus higher 40W power in one package
- Cuts 20mm basswood or colored acrylic in a single pass
- Enclosed Class 1 design with camera and air assist standard
Watch out for
- Not compatible with the 1.6W fine-detail bonus module that base Pro 40W supports
- Smaller work area than the base (non-S) Pro 40W
- No WiFi
