I tested the Creality A1 Falcon and found a new love for laser engraving
Briefly

Creality Falcon A1 is a 10W laser engraver positioned as an affordable, beginner-friendly machine. The unit uses core XY construction familiar to experienced 3D printer users and includes intuitive controls and Falcon Design software. The device offers advanced safety features and a build that supports a simplified, safe workflow. The size may be large for some home studios, but the capacity suits hobbyists and small business production. The engraver demonstrated fast learnability, allowing a complete beginner to become proficient within a month. The Falcon A1 performs well on a range of craft projects and represents strong value for newcomers and small-scale makers.
Laser engravers are cool as heck. I'd never used one before getting my hands on this 10W model from Creality, but I'm definitely a convert after using it for a month. Usually, I've been a bit intimidated by some of the best laser cutters and engravers, especially those that you see from the likes of xTool and Glowforge, but the Creality Falcon A1 is a superb (and plenty affordable) choice for newcomers to the craft.
While Creality isn't a particularly big name in the laser engraving industry, it does have a very impressive rep for manufacturing exceptional 3D printers and some of the best 3D scanners, too. The core XY construction of the Creality Falcon A1 felt very familiar to me as a proficient tester of some of the best 3D printers, and while its size is a little much for a home studio, it packs in everything you could need for a safe and simplified experience.
I'm impressed at just how fast I was able to get to grips with this laser engraver, considering I started as a complete beginner. The intuitive design and usability of this 10W model helped the learning process along, paired with easy-to-use Falcon Design software and advanced safety features. I'm going to be running through all of the pros and cons of the Creality Falcon A1 laser engraver, and whether or not I'd recommend it for crafters or business owners.
