Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better, the Creality Falcon2 or xTool D1 Pro?

It depends on your use case. Creality Falcon2 is 22W diode. xTool D1 Pro is 20W diode with 430×390mm bed. See the decision guide and side-by-side specs above.

What materials can both the Creality Falcon2 and xTool D1 Pro cut or engrave?

Both machines have community-tested settings for 43 shared materials. The settings table above lists every material with side-by-side speed, power, passes, and air assist values for direct comparison.

Is the Creality Falcon2 or xTool D1 Pro compatible with LightBurn?

The Creality Falcon2 works natively with LightBurn. The xTool D1 Pro uses xTool Creative Space. LightBurn compatibility may be possible via a community device profile but is not officially supported.

Is the Creality Falcon2 (22W) much faster than the xTool D1 Pro (20W)?

Higher wattage typically means faster cutting and the ability to cut thicker material in fewer passes. The Creality Falcon2 (22W) cuts thicker material in single passes and engraves at higher speeds than the xTool D1 Pro (20W). For raster engraving the difference is smaller because surface engraving is limited by mechanical scan speed.
