Christmas is the season of meaningful gifts.
Instead of mass-produced decorations, many creators now turn to laser engraving on glass to produce elegant, limited-edition holiday designs.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to create a Santa Claus glass engraving for Christmas using a UV laser engraver. The process is simple, repeatable, and ideal for seasonal gifts, decorations, or small-batch holiday projects.

Having the right material and file is essential for achieving clean and detailed glass engraving results.
Step 1: Import the Santa Claus Engraving File
First, connect your laser engraver to your computer and launch the ComMarker Studio software.
-
Click “3D Glass” to enter the glass engraving interface.
-
Select “Import” and load the Santa Claus model you downloaded.
Once imported, the model should appear in the workspace, ready for adjustment.
Step 2: Adjust the Size and Laser Settings
Next, you’ll need to set the correct parameters based on your laser power.
-
If you are using a 6W laser engraver, apply the parameters shown in Figure (1).
-
If you are using a 12W laser engraver, refer to Figure (2) for recommended settings.
Proper parameter selection ensures consistent dot depth and prevents cracks or uneven engraving inside the glass.
Step 3: Adjust the Model Position
After setting the parameters, carefully adjust the model’s position.
Make sure the Santa Claus design is centered inside the K9 crystal.
This step is important, especially for 3D glass engraving, as misalignment can affect the final visual balance.
Take a moment to rotate or move the model if needed.
Step 4: Auto-Focus the Laser
Now it’s time to focus the laser.
-
Run the auto-focus function.
-
Tip: Set the focal point at the bottom of the crystal for best internal engraving results.
After focusing, click “Preview”.
Additionally, confirm that the preview frame is fully contained within the crystal boundaries.
Step 5: Start Engraving and Finish
Once everything looks correct, close the safety door and click “Start.”
The laser engraver will begin creating the Santa Claus design inside the glass, layer by layer.
When the process finishes, you’ll have a clean, festive Christmas engraving with no surface damage.
