When most people hear “laser engraver,” they picture giant machines locked away in a factory. At ComMarker, we’ve been working to change that. Our goal is simple: make powerful, safe, and easy-to-use UV laser engravers that fit into classrooms, maker spaces, and creative studios—not just industrial floors.
And the coolest part? We’re starting to see it happen.
Why UV Lasers?
UV lasers work a little differently from fiber or CO₂ machines. Instead of burning or melting, UV lasers use a shorter wavelength (355 nm) to break molecular bonds. It’s called “cold engraving”, and the result is sharp, detailed marks without heat damage—no charred wood, no cracked glass edges, no warped plastic.
That means you can engrave everything from glass, crystal, and plastics to metal, leather, paper, and stone—all with crisp results. This flexibility makes UV lasers especially exciting for schools, artists, and small businesses who don’t want to be locked into just one type of material.
From Classrooms to Studios: Real Stories
Here are a few ways people are already using ComMarker UV engravers:
🎓 In the Classroom
One international school integrated the Omni series into their STEAM program. Students started by engraving flat designs on wood and acrylic, then moved on to 3D internal glass engraving.
“It used to be hard for students to see their ideas come alive. Now, they can literally hold their designs in their hands.” — Teacher, STEM Lab
It’s not just about cool gadgets—the hands-on process deepens understanding of physics, design, and even art.
🛍️ In a Creative Studio
A small jewelry and gift shop picked up the Omni X to produce custom glass and crystal gifts in-house. Before, they had to outsource everything, waiting weeks for delivery. Now they can take an order in the morning and deliver by evening.
“3D crystal engraving is faster, sharper, and honestly just looks stunning compared to what we used before.” — Shop Owner
For a small studio, having that control makes a huge difference in profit margins and customer experience.
What Makes ComMarker UV Engravers Stand Out?
Here’s a breakdown of some of the features that make machines like the Omni X stand out:
-
Cold Engraving (Photoablation): Ultra-precise marks without heat damage
-
LiDAR Autofocus: Automatically finds the perfect focal point—even on uneven surfaces
-
3D Internal Engraving: Create floating designs inside glass or crystal
-
Huge Material Range: Works on metals, wood, glass, acrylic, leather, stone, rubber, paper, and more
-
Expandable System: Add a rotary for cups, slide extension for longer items, or different lenses for small vs. large projects
-
16K Resolution: Ultra-fine detail (down to 0.0019 mm spot size)
Basically, it’s not just a “laser engraver.” It’s a creative tool that can keep up with whatever project you throw at it.
Tips for Getting the Best Results
If you’re new to UV lasers, here are a few quick tips to make your projects pop:
-
Start Simple: Try wood or acrylic first before moving on to tricky materials like glass.
-
For 3D Engraving: Use detailed 3D models with high mesh density—low-poly models don’t engrave well.
-
Lens Choice Matters: A 70 mm lens is great for fine details, while a 150 mm lens works better for larger projects.
-
Adjust Your Settings:
-
Blurry results? Lower dwell time + increase pulse width
-
Too slow? Lower pulse width slightly and adjust scan spacing
-
Incomplete engraving? Lower the pulse width for more consistent results
-
-
Stay Safe: Always use good ventilation and keep the protective cover closed while engraving.
Building the Future Together
We see ComMarker as more than just a machine manufacturer. Our vision is to build a community of makers, educators, and creators who push the boundaries of what’s possible with laser engraving.
-
Teachers bringing laser tech into STEM classrooms
-
Artists turning everyday materials into one-of-a-kind pieces
-
Entrepreneurs starting small businesses with personalized products
The Omni X and our other UV engravers are tools, yes—but they’re also bridges between imagination and reality.
