Creating the Perfect Laser Carved Pumpkin with the Boxford BGL350 

30 Oct '24

For Halloween, we put our Boxford BGL350 50W CO2 Laser Cutting & Engraving machine to the test, creating a show-stopping jack-o-lantern design of a bat soaring over a haunted house.  

This wasn’t just any pumpkin carving – the precision and capabilities of the Boxford BGL350 made it a unique and beautifully detailed piece that truly stood out. With its 50W laser power and spacious 500mm x 300mm work area, the BGL350 allowed us to cut and engrave with ease, delivering the intricate lines and subtle shading that brought this spooky scene to life.

Using the integrated 4K camera, we overlayed our artwork precisely onto the pumpkin’s surface, positioning it exactly where we wanted the design to engrave. Paired with Lightburn software, which supports various design formats like AI, SVG, and PNG, we could easily align and adjust every detail. The machine’s auto-focus and rapid engraving speed ensured a clean, consistent carve without missing a beat – even on the pumpkin’s curved surface. 

This Halloween project showcased just how versatile the Boxford BGL350 is, proving that with the right tools, any idea can become a reality. Whether you’re a hobbyist or a business professional, this laser cutter is a game-changer for detailed, high-quality engravings!
