Custom Wooden Christmas Ornaments
Your options for custom wooden Christmas ornaments are endless and CNCROi.com can cut just about any design you want at any scale you can imagine.
For these custom wooden Christmas ornaments, we used quarter inch 3 mm MDF, it’s cost effective, paints very well and we got TONS of it in the shop.
For this custom wooden Christmas ornaments project, CNCROi.com cut both the ornament holder (tree) and the associated ornaments, in this case, a mix of angels and snowmen.
Even though over a year separates this production run from the video below, the end result is exactly the same and nobody would know the time gap that happened between them if you were holding both in your hand.

At this scale, the custom wooden Christmas ornaments were more efficiently cut using our CNC laser over our CNC router due to the nesting requirements and although our CNC router would cut this in a fraction of the speed, it would have produced twice as much scrap and a lot more work thereafter removing tabs.
If you wanted a different Christmas tree design, here’s another we made earlier in the shop for holding ornaments.

I’ve repeated this endlessly though the years, having access to many different types of CNC machines at CNCROi.com allows us to use the optimal machine and process for the given application we are working on behalf of our customers.
Custom wooden Christmas ornaments are a lot of fun to make, the ideas our customers come-up with are always interesting going from sketch and concepts to finished product being shipped right to their door.
We can also make custom monograms, using any mix of materials though the same MDF used in this project and yes, you can also paint it any mix and match of colors.

When it comes to making custom wooden Christmas ornaments, although not shown, CNCROi.com can also brand them with both cutting and engraving details, so if this was for corporate use, it’s easy to put your logo or marks on it however you wish during production.
The quantities that CNCROi.com can produce in short order are also phenomenal, we’ve done production runs in the hundreds of full sheets of MDF using both our CNC laser and CNC router for customers across North America.
When it comes to production runs, shapes can be anything, even wooden gears.

Essentially, CNCROi.com can produce whatever you want and have it shipped to your door faster than you can imagine because I run an incredibly efficient shop where little time is wasted and we work until the job is done, not based on the typical 9-5 work hours.
For custom wooden Christmas ornaments, our only real limiting factor is how long it takes the mailman to get the product to your door, next day is possible though now, that window is quickly closing.
Laser cutting allows for incredible nesting opportunities, the amount of material cut through at this thickness of MDF is roughly the thickness of a hair and there is no pressure pushing or pulling through the material as there would be using our CNC router.
Carving MDF using our CNC laser is also a possibility, so there are a lot of additional options available to you beyond just two dimensions.

As you can see in the video and the photographs of these custom wooden Christmas ornaments, we are cutting the inside pieces out before the outline so nothing moves.
There are a lot of options when it comes to custom wooden Christmas ornaments, not only can the designs be literally anything, but we can also expand this across other materials, from plastic through metal.
Painting MDF to look like metal is a wonderful option as well if you budget doesn’t allow for metal but your esthetic is metallic.

The bright light you see is the instant vaporizing of the MDF wood during the cutting process, it’s a quick process for our laser to bring wood to smoke.
You can see the nesting in the MDF sheet with less than a mm of give from one shape or custom wooden Christmas ornament to the other.
When it comes to MDF specifically, it’s available in a variety of thicknesses, so if you wanted these custom wooden Christmas ornaments made using quarter inch, half inch or thicker (or thinner), CNCROi.com can produce those for you as well.
CNCROi.com can also carve MDF to have shapes in all three axis, so dimensional ornaments are possible too depending on the budget and design requirements.

When it snows at CNCROi.com, it’s a mix of smoke and saw dust.
MDF is a relatively strong material compared to the alternatives, but where it shines is it’s ease of use for production, it’s a very easy material for our machines to work with because it’s such a consistent material.
Additionally, MDF is widely available, there aren’t any seasonal gaps or choke points in production of MDF that could cause volumes of availability to swing down right before a job is commissioned.
