Trotec Laser and Accessories

NOTE: Any CO2, fibre, or flexx™ laser from the Speedy series can be used for this project.

Tip

Although metallic TroLase materials can be processed with a CO2 laser, we recommend using a fibre laser because it is capable of engraving minute details with greater clarity.

Step 1

Step 1: Configure the Design and Send the File to JobControl®

Create your own design, or use our template (available below) and resize the graphics as needed. Use the following JobControl® Process Options in the Print menu:

Process mode Resolution Cut line Halftone Others
Standard 1000 dpi None Color -

NOTE: If you are using a Speedy flexx/fibre system, ensure to select a 1000 dpi resolution. Combined with the precision of a fibre laser beam, a high design resolution will offer optimal processing results.
