If you’ve been looking for a laser engraver that goes beyond the basics, the ComMarker Omni X Machine deserves your attention. This 5W UV laser engraver is fully enclosed for safety, equipped with autofocus, and supports all major attachments like the slide extension and rotary tools.
But what truly sets it apart? The Omni X can control its Z-axis height while engraving, enabling breathtaking 3D engravings inside solid glass crystals — a feature that makes it stand out from other UV laser engravers in its class.
Key Features of the ComMarker Omni X
-
5W UV Laser Power (355 nm) – Delivers crisp, high-contrast marks on a wide range of materials.
-
Full Enclosure – Built-in eye protection and smoke extraction for safer operation.
-
Autofocus + Z-axis Control – Automatic distance adjustment with precision Z-axis movement.
-
Dual Lenses (70mm & 150mm) – 70mm for 3D glass engraving, 150mm for general use.
-
Accessories Included – Safety goggles, lifting table, foot switch, material samples, preview sheet, and even glass crystals to start 3D engraving right away.
-
Slide Extension & Rotary Options – Expand the engraving area or engrave rings, tumblers, and bottles with ease.
-
ComMarker Studio & LightBurn Support – Intuitive software with 3D tools, barcode generation, and advanced design options.
Design & Build Quality
The Omni X is sleek, sturdy, and thoughtfully designed. The sliding light shield moves smoothly, while the front panel provides quick access to the power switch, emergency stop, and Z-axis controls. Inside, an air-cooled laser source and autofocus sensor ensure stability, while multiple exhaust fans handle cooling and fume extraction.
Compared to the Omni One (5W) and the Omni 10W water-cooled version, the Omni X is slimmer yet maintains the same engraving area (150mm or 70mm with the included lenses).
Performance: Materials & Tests
I tested the Omni X across a wide range of materials, and the results were consistently impressive:
-
Plywood Cutting – Clean, razor-thin cuts with almost no burn marks.
-
Leaves & Organic Materials – Delicate, artistic engravings that preserve natural textures.
-
Stone & Ceramic – Deep, sharp marks after multiple passes.
-
Acrylic & Plastics – Smooth, bright finishes with chemical surface changes (no texture).
-
Silicone Watch Straps – Crisp, clear engravings perfect for personalization.
-
Metals (Steel, Stainless, Aluminum) – Stunning contrast on steel and stainless, and outstanding results on anodized aluminum.
When paired with the slide extension, the Omni X handled larger engravings seamlessly. The rotary tools (roller and chuck) also expanded its capabilities to cylindrical objects, glasses, and even intricate engravings inside rings.
The Highlight: 3D Glass Engraving
This is where the ComMarker Omni X Machine shines. Using the 70mm lens and lifting table, I tested its 3D engraving inside a solid glass crystal.
The process is simple: import your STL file, scale it, and let the software handle the rest. The engraver works layer by layer, adjusting the Z-axis like a 3D printer — but instead of building, it’s etching thousands of microscopic points inside the glass.
The results are breathtaking: fully-formed 3D sculptures suspended inside crystal blocks. This feature alone could form the foundation of a custom gift business, offering premium, high-value products for weddings, awards, or luxury keepsakes.
