Diode + infrared in one enclosure
A1 Pro combines a high-power diode with an infrared source for expanded material support inside the enclosed chassis.
- 20W diode · Diode
- Infrared marking · Infrared (1064 nm)
Listed as hybrid because two laser technologies share one machine, not because you pick 10W vs 40W on the same diode head.
TL;DR
Creality Falcon A1 Pro 20W adds a dual-laser setup in an enclosed chassis for faster engraving and some metal/plastic marking. Middle ground between A1 10W and the open Falcon 2 Pro 40W line.
What this machine is for
Enclosed dual-source Creality for mixed material small business work.

Beginner notes
Choose when you want enclosure + metal marking in one Creality box.
Pro tips
Test each laser source on scrap — IR and diode need different settings.
