The Creality Falcon2 Pro 60W is a fully enclosed laser engraver/cutter that features a variable-output laser module, which can be adjusted between 22W, 40W, and 60W to suit the task at hand. The 400 x 400 mm build area comfortably fits the commonly available 12 x 12 inch size for most sheet materials, and the 60W setting is advertised as capable of cutting through 22mm wood in a single pass.
The Creality Falcon2 Pro is an incremental improvement to the original Creality Falcon2 line of laser engravers, which do not include an integrated enclosure by default. By adding an enclosure and a laser module with adjustable output, Creality is going for a Swiss Army knife–style approach: a high-wattage laser capable of cutting through thick material while also creating delicate engravings, all neatly enclosed and designed to fit comfortably in a factory or in a garage workshop.
While we were impressed with the cutting speed of the high-wattage laser and overall operation of the Creality Falcon2 Pro 60W, the top enclosure is made of very thin acrylic and doesn’t give the same feeling of stability and protection that thicker enclosures like the xTool M1 or the Creality Falcon A1 Pro provide. In addition, light leakage was noticeable from a hole in the enclosure as well as a faint blue glow through the side panels during full-power cutting.
We tested the ‘Single Unit’ 60W package, which includes the 60W laser module and a 1.6W laser module for fine detail and is available for $2,699, currently on sale for $1,899. An accessory worth considering is the optional Creality Falcon Air Purifier, a highly effective smoke removal tool that is listed at $649, currently on sale for $519. Additional accessories include a rotary engraver, a honeycomb working table, and risers for larger engraved objects.
