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
Sculpfun S30 Ultra 33W
What we like
- 33W — cuts 20mm pine and 15mm black acrylic in one pass
- Huge 590×595mm base work area, expandable to 935×905mm
- Built-in auto air assist included
- 0.005mm high-precision linear slide rail X-axis
- Modular laser head — upgrade path within the S30 Ultra series
- Emergency stop switch and child safety lock
Watch out for
- Very large footprint (~800×840mm frame)
- No WiFi — Bluetooth and USB only
- No enclosure — open frame requires safe working environment
- Fixed focus (no motorised Z)
