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
FLUX Ador
What we like
- Quick-swap module system — laser, IR, and printing modules interchangeable
- Optional 20W module upgrade and 2W IR for bare metal marking
- Built-in 8MP camera for precise material placement
- Fully enclosed Class 1 design
- Optional CMYK color printing add-on — unique at this price
Watch out for
- 10W base module; 20W upgrade costs an additional $699
- No built-in air assist
- Diode cannot engrave glass or cut thick acrylic as cleanly as CO2
- CMYK printing and 2W IR module sold separately
- LightBurn requires optional USB bridge cable
