This is a 55W CO2 laser cutting machine with auto focus, camera positioning, red dot preview and precision mechanics. It also supports many upgrades and accessories, such as an air purifier to extract all the fumes, an Atomstack R1 Pro rotary attachment for engraving cylinders, an automatic fire extinguishing system for automatic fire extinguishing, a slatted bed upgrade (the default bed is honeycomb), a machine riser for engraving taller objects, and you can even upgrade the Hurricane with a conveyor feed system to expand the stock working area from 500*300mm (19.7"*11.8") to an amazing 500*800mm (19.7"*31.5")!
It has plastic enclosure, and the status of the machine can be observed by different colors of the LED lights. This machine also features a keylock which prevents unauthorized people from using the machine. The top panel has a power button, an autofocus button and three LED indicators. Note that the production version will have a nicer-looking sticker than this one.
At the back, there is a port for connecting the fire extinguishing system which will trigger in case of a fire and extinguish the flames.
xtinguish the flames.
Inside, all cables and air assist hoses are neatly packed in cable chains and the mechanical gantry is simple and well built. Inside there is also a connection for connecting the accessories like the rotary attachment and conveyor feeder. The lid is supported by two gas struts, which work very well and the lid can be opened with one hand only.
A cleaning brush, fire extinguishing hose, camera calibration pattern, fume extraction hose and a spare lens are also included.
At the back, there is a water-cooled CO2 laser tube. Before use, you need to add distilled water into the cooling system and attach the fume extraction hose which is nice and long. The first thing I did was to align the mirrors using the Atomstack video tutorial as aligning the beam makes a big improvement in engraving performance.
The production version will have an additional USB port on the side panel, the gaps on the machine enclosure will be improved and the production version will have an enhanced LED illumination, which will improve the visibility to the inside.
Focusing the Atomstack Hurricane
Atomstack Hurricane also features a positioning camera, which is located on the lid. It is meant to be used when the lid is open, and it is helpful for rough positioning of the engraving jobs.
For more precise positioning, the Atomstack Hurricane shines a red light through the lens, allowing you to frame the design with high precision like on blue diode machines. Otherwise, CO2 lasers have invisible laser beam, and it is impossible to frame the design without this feature.
Atomstack Air Purifier
One last thing I had to do before engraving was to connect the Atomstack air purifier system.
In my workshop, I don’t have the machine near the window and this purifier is a life saver as it filters out almost all the smoke and smell and the air can be released inside my workshop without filling it with smoke and harmful fumes.
The air purifier has three filtering stages. The first stage is a coarse filter that removes the big particles, the second filter filters out the sub-micron sized particles and the third filter is a heavy beast, full of active carbon which filters out the smell and harmful gases. The air purifier has an adjustable fan speed. It can be quiet at low speed for light engraving or can generate a ton of airflow at full speed for maximum filtering when cutting demanding materials.
Plywood Engraving Test Pattern
Next, I went to engrave my standard plywood engraving test pattern so we will be able to compare the results to other CO2 laser cutters I have tested so far.
The pattern consists of the power scale test, which tests the engraving performance at different speeds, the interval test which gives a hint of the laser spot size and shape and the photo engraving test which will show us the machines photo engraving performance.
You can download these test patterns HERE if you want to test your machine with them.
Looking at the results we can see that the Atomstack Hurricane did exceptionally well. It produced clear engravings with very little smoke stains.
Looking at the power scale test, we see that it produces very dark and deep engraving which burned through the 3mm thick plywood board that I used for this test. At higher speeds, a very nice progression from brown to black color can be achieved.
The interval test shows us that the engraving performance is similar in both directions with vertical orientation showing a bit wider laser beam.
And the photo engraving test shows that this machine is very good at being able to engrave fine details. I am very impressed with this machine.
Plywood Cutting Test
Then I went to do the plywood cutting test on 3mm and 6mm thick Poplar plywood. The Atomstack Hurricane performed very well. Compared to the xTool P2, it produced much less smoke stains. However, it’s important to note that the xTool P2 was tested before I adjusted the beam alignment, which likely caused the increased smoke stains. After calibration, the beam was narrower and the xTool performed better when cutting with less smoke stains.
We see that the xTool has performed better with the thicker plywood, which suggests that it is better than Hurricane at retaining focus at larger distances. (we will test this lower down in this article) If we also look at the cheaper GweikeCloud Pro, we see that it also performed a bit better at thicker plywood, but it performed much worse at the thinner one.

Acrylic Cutting Test
I also did the cutting test on 3mm thick (1/8″) acrylic. I used transparent acrylic since CO2 lasers can cut transparent acrylic just as well as black one which sets them apart from blue diode lasers. The Atomstack Hurricane did very good in this test.

Anodized Aluminum - Mechanical Stability and Precision Test
Next, I went to engrave some anodized aluminum. I used a camera for rough positioning and then I verified the position with the red dot framing function.
This test is used to evaluate small text engraving capability to see how the machine performs at detailed engravings. And the mechanical stability is tested by engraving squares at different speeds to see if there are any mechanical vibrations present at higher speeds. And the most important part is the interval test which is used to measure its laser spot size and shape.
You can download these test patterns HERE if you want to test your machine with them.
Looking under a microscope, we can see that the Hurricane did an excellent job at engraving very small text. Even the smallest text is perfect.
The squares were engraved at speeds ranging from 100 to10000mm/min and they all look perfect. This is very impressive.
And the interval test shows that the laser spot size is approximately 0.2mm in both directions which is normal for CO2 lasers.
Focus Distance Test
Then I did the focus distance test where I engrave squares at different distances from the optimal focus. This test was easy to do with the Atomstack Hurricane thanks to its ability to dynamically correct the focus height in real time. This test is a good indicator of the machines’ ability to cut thick materials.
The Atomstack Hurricane did worse compared to other CO2 lasers in its class. This also explains why it was the best at cutting 3mm thick materials, but other machines were better at cutting 6mm and thicker stuff.
You can also see how CO2 lasers compare to diode lasers in this test.
THICK Acrylic Cutting Test
I wanted to test the theory above by trying to cut my logo out of 15mm (0.6″) thick transparent acrylic. Atomstack Hurricane was able to cut it, which is impressive, but the finish was not as good as the figure on the right which was cut with the xTool P2 which is much better at retaining the focus at greater distances.
High Speed Engraving With Atomstack Hurricane
I also did the high-speed test by engraving a test pattern at 500 millimeters per second at various power levels. The Atomstack Hurricane did a great job, making very dark engravings with very little smoke stains. Compared to other machines, the Atomstacks engravings have more contrast and look great.
Machine Riser Kit
I was also able to get the machine riser kit and the conveyor feeder system. Both are made from metal and look very sturdy.
Conveyor Feeder - 3x Expanding The Working Area for The Atomstack Hurricane!
The conveyor system looks very sturdy and gives out a premium feel. The conveyor system expands the Y-axis range from 300 to 800mm which opens up a whole new dimension, allowing you to work on very large designs.
Small adjustable sliding tabs are included for clamping down large sheets of wood. If you use narrower pieces, you can use the included cross bars to hold the material.
To use the conveyor system, you need the riser base installed on your machine. It features magnetic doors on both sides which are quick to remove. The conveyor system is easy to install. First, you need to remove the tray and then the conveyor is slid inside and align it so it locks into the correct position. The laser head needs to be manually lowered so the autofocus sensor can reach the surface. The conveyor plugs in the designated port on the inside of the machine.
Safety
The Atomstack Hurricane is Class 1 certified, making it very safe to use.
