🔧 Parte 1: Getting Started with the ComMarker Omni 1
Antes de empezar a grabar, let’s walk through setup and software installation.
✅ 1.1 Configuración inicial
Here’s how to get your engraver and software ready to go:
- Visit the Official ComMarker Website
Go to https://www.commarker.com and create your free account.
Verify your email and login. - Download Software
Head over to the “Download Center” section on the website.
Download with Quemar luz software. - Install Software & Reboot
Run the installer. After installation, restart your PC to ensure the driver is fully recognized. - 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:
- Open Quemar luz, then click on File → Import.
- Choose a supported file format such as SVG, DXF, PNG, o BMP.
- Drag your artwork onto the design canvas.
- Cambiar tamaño, reposition, or rotate the design as needed to fit your target material.
Consejo: Para mejores resultados, use high-resolution or vector-based designs to maintain crisp details during engraving.
⚙️ 1.3 Material & Configuración del láser
Now that your design is loaded, it’s time to fine-tune the laser settings:
- On the right side of LightBurn, find the Processing Parameters panel.
- Choose your material type (p.ej., madera, acrílico, cuero, etc.).
- 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
- Hacer clic “Focus Calibration” to auto-focus the laser—or manually adjust the Z-axis for a sharp focus point.

▶️ 1.4 Test Run & Grabado
Before you hit “Go,” it’s always smart to run a dry test:
- Hacer clic “Preview Path” to see how the laser will move across your material.
- Hacer clic “Dry Run” (no laser fire) to make sure your laser head clears the material without collisions.
- When ready, hacer clic “Start Engraving” and let the Omni 1 do the magic.
- 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:
- Inspect the piece for depth and clarity.
- 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.
