Import the design template into your graphic program and adapt it as required. Start with the wooden back. Send the graphic to JobControl® using the following parameters.

Tip:

To save material, cut out material from the back part as it will mostly be covered by the acrylic front.

Insert the veneered wood into the laser and maximise the vacuum to compensate for any unevenness in the material. Cut the back from the material and then clean it using a damp cloth. The suggested parameters can differ depending on the laser machine used and its laser power.

Step 3 is processing the small components: Send the graphic to your laser machine. The black-white gradients in the bars will safely hold the ball chains thanks to the slight depressions in the material.

Load the solid wood onto your laser machine bed and make sure that it lies flat. Laser engrave your design then cut the hanging bars from the material.

Tip:

Due to the small geometry of the hanging bars, we reduced the JobControl^® standard parameter and increased the correction to 20.

Laser Parameters

A highlight of the display, the adhesive letters are cut from new Trotec veneered wood sheets. The frame for the letters is a positioning aid. When happy with the design send your graphic to the laser using the following parameters:

Print settings

Tip:

You can use different materials to create the letters to add a personal finish to your display stand. Before laser cutting, attach double-sided adhesive tape to the material.

Load the veneered wood with double-sided adhesive tape onto your laser machine bed and cut them from the material. Once cut clean the letters using a damp cloth. To easily remove the letters from the machine attach a strip of paper tape to the letters.

Laser Parameters

For stability we created the stand from two layers of solid wood using the same graphic.

Important tip:

Check whether the material thicknesses of both parts fit into the slot of the stand, adapting them if necessary.

Print settings

Set the parameters. Load and position the solid wood sheet into your laser cutter, ensuring it lies evenly.

Duplicate the job in the JobControl® laser software and cut both stands. Once completed clean them using a damp cloth.

Info:

We used the standard JobControl® laser parameters for solid wood, which can be downloaded from www.troteclaser.co.uk

For the final part of the display switch from the aluminium cutting grid to the vacuum table. Put the acrylic cutting grid on the vacuum table and send the graphic to the laser with the following settings:

Remove the protective foil from the front of the material and load the TroGlass Satins into your laser machine.
