AtomStack A24 Pro

Atomstack's 24W unibody-frame diode: set up in minutes, conveyor-ready bed

Released September 2023

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.

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
