    Go to https://www.commarker.com and create your free account.
    Verify your email and login.
  2. Download Software
    Head over to the “Download Center” section on the website.
    Download with Quemar luz software.
  3. Install Software & Reboot
    Run the installer. After installation, restart your PC to ensure the driver is fully recognized.
  4. Conecte la máquina
    Use the USB cable to connect your ComMarker Omni 1 to your computer. Make sure the laser engraver is powered on.

Once everything’s connected, open LightBurn—you’re ready to start designing.


🖼️ 1.2 Importing Your Design

LightBurn makes it easy to bring your design to life. Here’s how:

  1. Open Quemar luz, then click on File → Import.
  2. Choose a supported file format such as SVG, DXF, PNG, o BMP.
  3. Drag your artwork onto the design canvas.

⚙️ 1.3 Material & Configuración del láser

Now that your design is loaded, it’s time to fine-tune the laser settings:

  1. On the right side of LightBurn, find the Processing Parameters panel.
  2. Choose your material type (p.ej., madera, acrílico, cuero, etc.).
  3. Adjust settings like:
    • Salida de energía (%): Controls engraving depth
    • Velocidad (mm/s): Affects detail and burn rate
    • Frecuencia (kilociclos): Used more for metal and stone engraving
  4. Hacer clic “Focus Calibration” to auto-focus the laser—or manually adjust the Z-axis for a sharp focus point.

Before you hit “Go,” it’s always smart to run a dry test:

  1. Hacer clic “Preview Path” to see how the laser will move across your material.
  2. Hacer clic “Dry Run” (no laser fire) to make sure your laser head clears the material without collisions.
  3. When ready, hacer clic “Start Engraving” and let the Omni 1 do the magic.
  4. Once done, turn off the laser and safely disconnect the USB cable.

Congratulations—you’ve just completed your first engraving job with the ComMarker Omni 1!

🪵 Parte 2: Deep Engraving on Metal & Piedra

When you’re ready to move beyond wood or acrylic, el titán 1 can tackle deeper, more durable materials like metal y piedra. Here’s how to handle advanced projects with confidence.


🧩 2.1 Elegir los materiales adecuados & Accesorios

  • Para metales:
    Usar special coated metal sheets or apply a laser marking spray (like CerMark or Brilliance). This enhances contrast and engraving depth.
  • For Stone:
    Elegir polished granite or marble with a clean, dry surface. Avoid cracked or uneven textures for best results.

⚙️ 2.2 Fine-Tuning the Settings for Depth & Clarity

For deeper or more durable materials, your laser needs extra precision and power:

🔩 Metal Engraving Settings

  • Fuerza: 80–100%
  • Velocidad: 200–300 mm/s
  • Frecuencia: 25–35 kHz
  • Pases: 1–2 depending on desired contrast

🪨 Stone Engraving Settings

  • Fuerza: 90–100%
  • Velocidad: 100–150 mm/s
  • Frecuencia: 20–30 kHz
  • Pases: 3–5, engraving just 0.1–0.2 mm deep per pass for best texture and finish

💡 Tip: With both metal and stone, less is more. It’s better to make multiple shallow passes than a single deep cut, which can crack or distort your material.

🔄 2.3 Repeat Scans & Aftercare

After your first engraving pass:

  1. Inspect the piece for depth and clarity.
  2. Si es necesario, adjust the power or speed and run a second or third pass.

After the final pass:

  • Metal: Wipe down with isopropyl alcohol. You can also apply anti-rust spray or sealant to preserve the finish.
  • Piedra: Use a soft-bristle brush to clean off dust. Apply stone polish to bring out the natural sheen and protect the surface.
