@@omtechlaser One question - can I use one of the larger models indoors(in a home office)? I'm in Canada so I'm concerned about having the laser cutter in the garage when it gets cold. Thank you!

[@omtechlaser]

@@thecreativespacebynina2905 Great question! This will depend on the ventilation setup in mind, as well as the machine's dimensions and whether it can be transported through doorways, etc. We suggest joining our Facebook Group and asking OMTech owners for their setup advice.

Hi, thank you for the great information. Do you know if the laser can be disassembled and then reassembled inside where we want to put it? The one we want won’t fit through our doorway so looking for creative solutions.

I want to cut EVA foam for Pelican cases. I can’t seem to find any info on what type, wattage, etc I would need for this? I’m thinking that the max material would be 2”.

Can your products engrave on apple products such as Iphones, Ipads, Macbook Pros ect. without damaging the internals of those products?

[@omtechlaser]

Good question! We suggest looking at our Fiber Laser Markers to mark on metals and hard plastics. We also recommend joining our Facebook Group and asking our engaging community of users.
