These 3 settings cover cut and engrave 3mm MDF on the Creality Falcon (10W diode laser). Wood results vary by grain direction and moisture content — always run a quick test on scrap before cutting your final piece. Some settings use multiple passes for a cleaner cut — pin or tape your material flat before running to prevent shift between passes.

Creality Community Forum post (forum.creality.com/t/please-advise-with-best-settings-to-cut-mdf/2389): community discussion for a 5W Falcon cutting 2.5–3mm MDF; consensus is 100% power at 200–300 mm/min needing 3–5 passes. Maker Forums (forum.makerforums.info/t/your-opinion-at-speed-power-for-cutting-mdf/83250) suggests 30% power at 20 mm/s (1200 mm/min) for 10W, scaling that down implies very slow speed at full power for 5W. 3mm MDF is near the limit of the 5W; air assist is essential.
