The great thing about MDF is that it’s a very plentiful, easy to work with and consistent material to work from for a wide variety of applications that CNCROi.com uses them for.
The bright light you see in the videos and photos of the MDF Christmas ornaments production is the instant vaporization of the MDF, whether it’s laser engraving or cutting it doesn’t matter, the material needs to be obliterated into gas wherever our customer wants something done to the material.
What’s especially good about MDF is that the branding that’s achieved with CNCROi.com‘s laser is a nice deep brown color, and it’s a consistent brown color as well, unlike the live edge work we work from that has some variations across the engraving surface.
CNCROi.com does a lot of work using MDF, sometimes we use our laser, sometimes we use our router.

When it comes to your design options for your own MDF Christmas ornaments, they are completely endless and limitless at the same time, literally any font works for engraving and vector graphics for logos through hand drawn sketches.
For this specific production of custom MDF Christmas ornaments, it’s a mix of both laser engraving and cutting, but if you wanted something with only cutting or engraving, that’s fine too, but keep in mind that if you want items cut out, support material are essential for the structural integrity of the entire item we produce for you.
As each of these custom MDF Christmas ornaments is made essentially one at a time, CNCROi.com can offer volume discounts even if there is a different design style or even sizing across the entire production schedule.
MDF is also a wonderful material when it comes to carving, it accepts paint wonderfully and is relatively easy on machinery.

Suffice it to say, CNCROi.com had A LOT of these MDF Christmas ornaments to make and at the end of the day, it makes no difference for us, whether it’s a dozen or thousands, the production process is the same, just more sheets are loaded into the machine and more time is involved.
The nice thing about our production methods is that everything is the same from first to last, regardless of the quantity our client requests us to produce for them.
Keep in mind that CNCROi.com has multiple CNC platforms in the shop, so if you wanted custom Christmas ornaments made out of metal, it’s not an issue for us as well as other options from rubber to plastics including never ending species of wood.
The reason you don’t see a massive build-up of smoke in the machine during the production of these custom MDF Christmas ornaments is because we have a powerful extraction system, so as combustible material is produced, it’s quickly removed from the machine.
Puzzles are also a great item for the holidays as MDF paints very well using spray.

What I enjoy most about big production runs like these custom MDF Christmas ornaments, is that I get the pleasure of packing them, my first job was in a warehouse packing products and it’s fun having a challenge to pack things efficiently in boxes after everything is done.
One sheet at a time, thrown into CNCROi.com‘s machine, starts off as fresh without anything on it and come out fully engraved and cut to the customer’s spec, it’s like magic!
For this specific project, the customer wanted the smoky look of the laser cutting, if you didn’t want it, CNCROi.com can mask the surface for a very clean surface front and back.
Depending on the application, we can fly through hundreds of full sheets of MDF, just as easily as smaller ones.

You’ll notice that laser engraving of the MDF Christmas ornaments is done first before the cutting process, the reason for this is to maintain the integrity of the full sheet as much as possible, as once it’s cut, there may be some movement and thus, things will not be aligned perfectly.
CNCROi.com applies this process, engraving before cutting, regardless of the material or production we are going through, whether it’s for these MDF Christmas ornaments where if things aren’t aligned perfectly isn’t critical or some of the high precision jobs we do for aerospace and military applications.
Looking at this production of these MDF Christmas ornaments, you’ll notice that the head of the laser is well above the MDF material, in this case, it’s two and a half inches away, light has traveled many feet before coming out of the head of the laser, a few inches at the end makes no difference.
MDF is great for shapes as well, from high precision gears to simple items customers use for giveaways.

The design process for CNCROi.com when it comes to making MDF Christmas ornaments is pretty straight forward, the customer sends their design ideas and then afterwards, we make a digital proof and once approved, go right into production.
When it comes to shipping options, we use all major carriers, from USPS to FedEx but if you prefer USP, LOOMIS or whatever just let us know but the vast majority of our projects go out via FedEx as the tracking is the best.
The challenge with big production runs is keeping count of what was made and what’s left to do, in this case, stacks are made and then keep tracking is relatively easy math as production ensues.
