It doesn't always have to be the most expensive or largest machine. It should fit the business model you have in mind and be suitable for most of the applications you want to cover.

Ask yourself the following questions:

• What working area do I use most often? What are the dimensions of most of the objects I want to process?
• What materials do I mainly process, and in which thickness? The answers determine the laser power you’ll need.
• Will I need accessories (e.g. rotary engraving attachment)? Do I want to be able to offer customers additional benefits or more products?

Which questions is your laser machine supplier able to answer? Here are the topics your consultant will explain to you:

• Possible finance options
• Do you receive material tests, training offers, product demos and helpful support, including after the contract has been signed? What else does the laser salesperson offer you?
• It’s important for your day-to-day business that you’re able to fall back on a great service offer with fast, reliable support – preferably directly from the manufacturer – in case of an emergency.

The purchase costs of a laser cutter depends on the configuration and equipment. Each machine is configured individually according to our customers' requirements. Asking how much a laser machine costs is a bit like asking the price of a car. Without knowing if the customer needs a sports car or a truck, you can’t make a general statement about this.

You should develop a clear business plan. It needs to include details about what products you want to manufacture and the customer group you want to target. This will help you identify the laser power needed to achieve the stated goals. The working area also plays an important role, as do customised accessories, such as exhaust systems and processing tables – these also contribute to the overall price.

Safety, operating ergonomics and functional design are important for your daily work with a laser cutter. The Trotec R Series offers maximum visibility into the laser interior – a viewing window provides insight into the work progress at any point, even from a distance. The workpiece can be positioned easily thanks to the ergonomic and open design.
