Creality Falcon — Anodized Aluminum

Creality 10W official parameters (Scribd 651622034) list anodized aluminum at 100% power, 200 mm/min, 1 pass for 10W. LightBurn forum (forum.lightburnsoftware.com/t/eangrave-i-computer-lid-anodicized-alu/152427) reports Falcon 10W successfully etching anodized aluminum. The 5W has limited ability to mark anodized aluminum — community notes suggest 100% power at 400–600 mm/min; results are faint compared to 10W+. Rated lower confidence as 5W is marginal for this material.

Removes anodising cleanly to reveal bare aluminium. No coating needed. Dog tags, tumblers, and branded accessories engrave well. The Falcon's LightBurn compatibility means you can use the same rotary workflow as any other diode laser.

Works on black anodized at 5W but mark is lighter than higher-wattage machines. Run 2 passes for darker result.
