Released July 2024
Diode engrave + fiber mark
A24 Pro combines diode cutting/engraving with a fiber source for metal marking in one package.
- 20W diode
- 20W fiber
Listed as hybrid because two laser technologies share one machine, not because you pick 10W vs 40W on the same diode head. Modules vs hybrid vs power tiers →
TL;DR
AtomStack A24 Pro packs a diode engraver plus fiber marking into a smaller footprint than separate machines. Niche for jewelry-scale metal marking plus wood: not a full workshop fiber or high-power diode.

Best for
What makes this machine stand out
Hardware and workflow features worth understanding before you buy : not just wattage on a label.
Dual laser sources
Two laser technologies share one machine (for example diode + infrared or hybrid CO₂/IR). You switch modes in software instead of owning separate boxes : great for mixed shops, but read which materials each source actually handles.
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 20W is the versatile hobby / side-business SKU: clean engraving and light 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
