Frequently Asked Questions

Which is better, the NEJE 3 Max or Creality Falcon?

It depends on your use case. NEJE 3 Max is 12W diode. Creality Falcon is 10W diode with 430×390mm bed. See the decision guide and side-by-side specs above.

What materials can both the NEJE 3 Max and Creality Falcon cut or engrave?

Both machines have community-tested settings for 34 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 NEJE 3 Max (12W) much faster than the Creality Falcon (10W)?

Higher wattage typically means faster cutting and the ability to cut thicker material in fewer passes. The NEJE 3 Max (12W) cuts thicker material in single passes and engraves at higher speeds than the Creality Falcon (10W). For raster engraving the difference is smaller because surface engraving is limited by mechanical scan speed.
