Een klein bedrijf runnen betekent veel hoeden dragen. Voor Emily Rivera, founder of ClearCraft Studio, a custom glass engraving shop in Asheville, Noord Carolina, time was always her biggest challenge. Between designing orders, engraving by hand, and managing shipping, she needed a faster, more reliable solution.
That’s when she discovered the ComMarker Omni 1—a compact UV-lasergraveerder that changed everything.
The Problem: Bottlenecks and Burnouts
Emily started her business on Etsy in 2021, selling personalized glassware—think engraved wine bottles for weddings, custom ornaments, and glass coasters for corporate gifts. But by mid-2023, demand had outpaced her capacity.
“I was averaging about 8–10 glasses per hour with my old setup,” Emily recalls. “It was exhausting, and honestly, I was turning away bulk orders because I just couldn’t deliver on time.”
She tried outsourcing but found it costly and inconsistent. What she really needed was a machine that could deliver precisie, snelheid, En eenvoud—without needing an industrial warehouse or a team of engineers.
Enter the ComMarker Omni 1
After researching dozens of machines, Emily landed on the ComMarker Omni 1 UV-lasergraveerder. It ticked all the boxes:
- ✅ Snelheid: Tot 15,000 mm/s graveersnelheid
- ✅ Precisie: 0.001mm accuracy with HD-quality output
- ✅ Materiaalcompatibiliteit: Easily handles glass, kristal, acryl, and even metal
- ✅ Gebruiksvriendelijk: Compatible with LightBurn and EZCad2 software
- ✅ Veilig & Compact: Desktop-sized with a fully enclosed Class 1 laser chamber
“It literally fits on my studio desk, plugs into my laptop, and I was engraving within 30 minutes of setup,” Emily says.
The Results: 40% Faster Production, Fewer Mistakes
Switching to the Omni 1 wasn’t just easy—it was transformative.
| Metric | Voor | Na |
|---|---|---|
| Graveertijd (Per Wine Glass) | 7 minuten | 4 minuten |
| Average Orders per Day | 25 units | 42 units |
| Error/Redo Rate | 9% | <2% |
| Winst (per month) | $3,100 | $5,400 |
“The speed increase was huge. I’m engraving almost twice as fast, and the precision is so clean I don’t waste time fixing errors.”
Her turnaround time improved so much that she landed a wholesale contract with a local winery—something that would’ve been impossible a year ago.
Waarom de Omni 1 Stands Out for Glass Engraving
Glass can be tricky. It’s fragile, reflecterend, and prone to cracking under too much heat. But the Omni 1 gebruikt cold UV engraving, which avoids the scorching and chipping that other machines can cause.
“I spray my glass with a light coat of Rust-Oleum flat white paint, and the laser vaporizes just the top layer, leaving a frosty, permanent etch. Then I wipe off the paint with thinner. It’s crisp every time,” says Emily.
She also uses the roterende bijlage for round objects like wine bottles and champagne flutes. “It’s a game-changer for wedding season.”
