TL;DR
AtomStack A24 Pro is a 24W diode engraver and cutter (four 6W diodes) built on a unibody frame you set up in minutes. The 360 × 280 mm bed is small for this power class, but the optional conveyor stretches it to 360 × 800 mm. Diode only: for metal marking, Atomstack sells a separate A24 Pro 1064nm fiber version.

Best for
What makes this machine stand out
Hardware and workflow features worth understanding before you buy : not just wattage on a label.
Open-frame : plan safety first
There is no factory enclosure: you wear OD-rated glasses, control smoke, and keep kids/pets away. You trade cabinet convenience for price and access : fine in a dedicated workshop, stressful in a living room without a plan.
LightBurn compatible
LightBurn support means advanced layers, camera tools, and workflows many makers outgrow the stock app with. Confirm your exact controller board before assuming full features : some machines need a paid license separately.
Our verdict
Ideal if you
AtomStack A24 Pro 24W is the versatile hobby / side-business SKU: clean engraving and wood or leather cuts with comparable benchmarks on Maker Atlas.
Skip if you
Open-frame: glasses and exhaust required. Not a CO₂ replacement for clear acrylic or heavy thick-stock production.
Pros
- Everyday engrave and light cut mix: typical 6 mm basswood in several passes
- Software listed on the profile: test your workflow (LightBurn or maker app) on scrap first
Cons
- Clear cast acrylic and thick production cutting still favor CO₂, not diode power alone
- Confirm optical wattage on the listing before you buy

Machines in the same space, picked from our database by type, price, and score.
xTool · Hybrid · $2,999 – $4,659
A compact desktop machine combining a 20W fiber laser and 20W diode. The fiber module marks bare metal: stainless steel, aluminum, brass: without spray. Ideal for jewelry, knives, and metal gifts. Premium price for a small work area.
Atomstack · Diode · $369 – $729
AtomStack A20 Pro V2 replaces the older A20 Pro with updated optics and bundle options. Mid-tier Atomstack between P1 and A40: strong detail, not the highest watt class.
Atomstack · Fiber · $909 – $1,159
AtomStack A24 Pro 1064nm is the fiber-marking variant without the diode side: for users who only need metal/plastic marking in a small footprint, not wood cutting.
