OMTech laser cutters use a focused beam of light to vaporize or engrave materials with pinpoint accuracy. Controlled by vector-based design software, the laser can cut through thin materials or engrave intricate patterns, making it perfect for educational use. Students can explore geometry, design principles, and basic fabrication skills—all while producing tangible projects like classroom organizers, puzzle-based learning tools, or model structures. The combination of technology and creativity fosters critical thinking and problem-solving in a fun, engaging way.
1. Design the Project
2. Choose & Prepare the Material
3. Set up & Start the machine
4. Cut, Engrave & Finish
Use software like RDWorks, CorelDRAW, or LightBurn to create simple shapes, labels, or models. Encourage students to plan their designs based on classroom themes or curriculum topics.
Select materials such as plywood, acrylic, felt, or cardboard, depending on the project. Secure the material flat on the laser bed and ensure proper ventilation.
Adjust speed, power, and frequency based on material thickness and detail level. Run a small test before starting full production.
Supervise the process, then clean and finish the item. Add paint, magnets, or clasps to turn simple cuts into useful learning tools.
