From June 20, the Creality Falcon 2 laser cutter will also be available in Germany with the new 60W laser head. With this power, the fully encapsulated device will now also be able to engrave steel.

The high power is achieved by twelve laser diodes of 5 watts each, whose beams are combined with each other. This should make it possible to cut lime wood up to 22 mm thick and Plexiglas up to 30 mm. Stainless-steel sheet can not only be engraved, but also cut up to 0.2 mm thick, according to the manufacturer. By switching off individual diodes (via software), the laser power can also be reduced for sensitive materials, for example. The cutter should fall into laser class 1.
For thinner materials, the new laser head is said to achieve cutting speeds more than three times faster, for example up to 700 mm/s for 5 mm walnut plywood. The cutting edges should also hardly soot up, as the material vaporizes faster due to the high power.

The housing with the striking orange-transparent cover offers safety functions in the event of accidental opening, as well as a drawer at the bottom that collects cutting waste and is easy to clean. A 1.6 watt laser head is also supplied with the laser cutter, which is said to be more suitable for fine engravings.
The Falcon2 60W can already be pre-ordered with a discount of over 400 euros. It then costs just 2439 euros instead of 2872 euros. In addition to the second laser head, an Airassist compressor is also supplied.
