I tested the WeCreat Vision Pro and was impressed by what it is capable of

This is a professional-level laser cutter and engraver with features for every maker, and I tried as many of them as I could.

Our Verdict

WeCreat has enhanced its already excellent Vision with several new features, making it an outstanding choice for creators and makers. The ability to swap laser modules means you can cut or engrave just about anything, and that lifting top is fantastic. The balance of power and detail is spot on, so no matter what kind of projects you work on, you’ll be set with the WeCreat Vision Pro. I’m thoroughly impressed.

For

  • Fantastic form factor with auto riser
  • Setting a project is easy with the aid of the camera
  • Details are clear and fine
  • It can cut thick materials

Against

  • It’s one heavy machine

The maker/creator crowd is becoming better served every week by the looks of it. More gadgets, with new features, at more competitive prices, are a good thing. Competition is healthy for all, and the laser engraver market is a prime example of this.

Not all that long ago, they were bulky, industrial-looking units, most often unenclosed gantry systems, similar to older 3D printers. That was fine but they didn’t look attractive on the des,k and they were costly, with far fewer possibilities for creative projects. Things are very different now, with many developers looking to offer affordable, powerful and professional-looking machines that any creative would be happy to own. I tried WeCreat’s original Vision, along with a multitude of other laser cutters and engravers, so I was keen to see what the ‘Pro’ version had to offer. On paper, it sounds like a huge leap up, even though the form factor is pretty similar. A 45-watt diode laser, with an option for a 2-watt fibre module, better safety features and an internal camera. After running a good number of projects on the Vision Pro, I have some thoughts…
