How to Use a Laser Cutter or a Laser Engraver
How the Laser Cutter Works for Halloween Crafts
OMTech laser cutters use a focused laser beam to cleanly cut or engrave a variety of materials. The laser vaporizes or burns away the material along your design path, allowing for intricate detail without manual cutting. Adjustable power and speed settings give creators control over engraving depth and cutting thickness, whether you're making glowing acrylic ghosts, creepy leather bookmarks, or engraved wooden pumpkins. With OMTech, your Halloween visions—no matter how haunted or humorous—can materialize with professional-quality results.
Steps to Use a Cutter/Engraver for Halloween Projects
1. Design Your Spooky Files
2. Choose & Prepare Your Material
3. Adjust Settings & Run a Test
4. Assemble or Finish
Use vector software like RDWorks, CorelDRAW, or LightBurn to create creepy designs such as spider webs, tombstones, bats, or ghoulish text.
Select from wood, acrylic, leather, paperboard, or felt. Secure your material on the laser bed and ensure it’s flat to prevent warping during the engraving or cutting process.
Based on your material, choose the right laser power and speed settings. Run a quick test on scrap to ensure detail and safety.
Add LED lights to acrylic pieces, apply paint or glitter to wooden ones, or use string to hang your paperboard cutouts. Your haunting masterpiece is ready for display or sale!

Since November 2022 I don't use the machine for my work, but for my videos on YouTube. I have done many trials and tests to find the different cutting parameters and performance and now I have perfect knowledge of what I can and want to get from my machine.
