What materials are suitable for engraving/cutting with Creality Falcon2?
Creality Falcon2 is a diode laser engraving machine. Its light source is blue light with a wavelength of 455nm. It’s suitable for engraving and cutting of most non-metallic materials (wood, bamboo, slate, cardboard, leather, fabric, paperboard, felt, ceramics, acrylic, etc.), as well as engraving of stainless steel, anodized aluminum, painted metal and other materials. Although Creality Falcon2 can process a wide range of materials, some materials (such as PVC) will release toxic fumes during gasification or melting, which is extremely harmful to the human body. It is recommended not to process plastics, and other materials containing chlorine, chloride, and phenolic resin. Also, it is not recommended to engrave and cut any unknown material.

Notes:
1. Please ensure that the focal length of the laser module is correct and the lens of the laser module is clean when powered off (It can be clean with dustless cloth and alcohol).
2. The parameters are for reference only because the color of the material is different, and it will lead to a different effect. You can achieve a desired effect by adjusting the parameters:
- Generally, higher power or slower speed have a deeper effect;
- Lower power or faster speed have a shallower effect.
In addition, engraving on brushed stainless steel can achieve colorful effects by setting different parameters, but the oxidation degree of different materials is different, and slight differences in focal length and power will also affect the actual effect. It is recommended to do some tests on your material.
3. The bottom surface of the cutting place should be suspended (use a honeycomb worktable) when cutting. You should protect the workbench (such as using aluminum plates or other materials that are not easily penetrated by laser).
