OMTech Pro Quantum vs. Pro Series: Ultimate CO2 Laser Comparison

When it comes to CO₂ laser engraving and cutting, OMTech’s Pro Series represents some of the most capable solutions available for small business owners, professional workshops, and industrial production floors. From precision-focused RF lasers to high-power industrial cutters, this lineup is designed for high-quality performance and intense production. 

Now, we’ll closely compare the OMTech Pro Quantum 60W RF CO₂ laser against three of its Pro Series counterparts—the Pro 2440, the Pro 3655, and the Pro 3655 Hybrid—highlighting key specs, ideal use cases, and how each machine fits specific business types.

Introducing the Pro Quantum: Speed + Precision

The OMTech Pro Quantum 60W RF CO₂ laser machine represents a major step forward in CO₂ laser technology. Rather than a traditional glass tube, it uses a radio frequency (RF) CO₂ laser source, which delivers a more stable and tightly focused beam, longer lifespan, and higher precision — benefits that are especially valuable in high-detail engraving and fast throughput environments.

Key highlights include: 

• 60W RF CO₂ power for faster, cleaner engraving

• Maximum engraving speed up to 4,200 mm/s, among the fastest in the Pro Series

• Ultra-fine 0.07 mm spot size for extremely detailed work

• 48 MP onboard camera for accurate alignment and preview

• A large work area (~1000 × 600 mm) suited for professional-grade projects

These features make the Pro Quantum excellent for businesses that demand both high detail and fast turnaround, such as custom signage shops, production engravers, architectural model makers, and creative studios handling dense vector graphics or complex engraving work.

OMTech Pro 2440: Balanced Power and Large Format

The Pro 2440 CO₂ laser is a more traditional Pro Series machine offering robust power options in 80W and 100W configurations. It’s built around a 24″ × 40″ (610 × 1016 mm) work area with autofocus and a built-in water chiller, making it a capable mid-sized workhorse for a variety of engraving and cutting jobs. 

This model is ideal for:

• Medium-volume production environments

• Workshops with long sessions requiring stable thermal performance (thanks to the water chiller)

• Larger format pieces not requiring RF precision

With solid cutting depths and consistent output around up to 1000 mm/s engraving speed, the Pro 2440 can tackle wood, acrylic, leather, and many non-metals effectively, making it suitable for makerspaces, engraving businesses, and general fabrication shops.

OMTech Pro 3655: High-Power Production

Stepping up in both power and work area, the Pro 3655 CO₂ laser is available in 130W and 150W configurations. These machines are designed for high-volume production or larger materials, including deep cutting jobs and thicker materials. 

Typical attributes include:

• Large work areas suited for sheet materials like plywood, acrylic sheets, and signage stock

• High-power tubes for faster cutting and engraving

• Compatibility with rotary attachments for cylindrical objects

The Pro 3655 is a strong choice for:

• Commercial signage makers

• Furniture or industrial part prototypers

• Businesses with heavy workloads that need the extra power to cut thicker media quickly

It strikes a balance between high output and controllability, making it a good step up for shops aiming to expand production capacity without moving to a fully industrial format.

OMTech Pro 3655 Hybrid: Advanced Capabilities and Metal Cutting Potential

The Pro 3655 Hybrid 150W CO₂ laser machine builds upon the 150W platform, expanding its capabilities to include metal cutting workflows, in addition to standard CO₂ applications. This hybrid capability is achieved with dual laser nozzles to expand the material range beyond just wood and acrylic. Each laser nozzle features a standard air assist and airflow system to clear debris and protect the lens.

Notable characteristics include:

• A large 34″ × 54″ work area for oversized projects

• Enhanced cooling and airflow systems for safe operation under heavy workloads

• Hybrid setup that allows cutting thin metals alongside traditional CO₂ materials

The Pro 3655 Hybrid is well suited for:

• Industrial and manufacturing environments

• Shops needing both CO₂ cutting and metal engraving (up to certain gauge limits)

• Advanced prototyping and multi-material workflows

It’s one of the most versatile machines in the Pro Series, combining size, power, and expanded material compatibility.

Why Should Choose Which Machine?

Pro Quantum 60W RF—Precision Meets Speed

Best for creative professionals, design shops, and businesses needing fast, detailed engraving without sacrificing quality. Its RF laser and high-speed capabilities make it perfect for detailed signage, architectural models, and high-volume small parts engraving.

Pro 2440 — Balanced Production

A reliable all-around choice for mid-sized workshops and makerspaces that need a robust work area and consistent performance. It’s especially good for large format engraving and cutting, but without the specialized demands of RF precision or high-power deep cutting.

Pro 3655 — Power for Production

Ideal for businesses with larger workloads and heavier materials, like professional signage fabrication shops, furniture prototype makers, and operations that routinely handle thicker stock.

Pro 3655 Hybrid — Industrial Versatility

Perfect for advanced workflows that need both CO₂ engraving/cutting and light metal processing, such as fabrication shops, industrial prototyping centers, and mixed-material production lines.
