Step by step
Step 1: Import/create print & laser file
The first step is to either create your own design or import our pre-made template. Then send the job to the laser with the settings below.
Print settings
Process mode | Resolution | Cut line |
---|---|---|
Standard | 500dpi | none |
Halftone | Others |
---|---|
Colour | Optimised geometries, inner geometries first, minimise to job size |
Step 2: Laser cutting
The next step is to create the parameter settings. Use the same settings when laser cutting each of the neon sheets. Please note that depending on your laser machine and the available power the settings will differ.
The blue laser cutting lines on the white base plate serve as a marker for the correct positioning when glueing the neon-coloured elements and should be placed in front of the red laser cutting parameters if possible. This allows an optimal laser cutting result to be achieved.
Place the first TroGlass plate in the laser machine. Leaving the protective foil on the material, close the device and start the laser cutting process. Repeat for the other acrylic sheets.
Laser cutting parameters - TroGlass 3mm:
Colour | Process | Power (%) | Speed (%) | ppi/Hz |
---|---|---|---|---|
Blue | Cut CO2 | 10 | 1 | 1000 |
Red | Cut CO2 | 50 | 0.2 | 5000 |
Passes | Air Assist | Z-Offset | Direction | Advanced |

Step 3: Assembly
After the laser cutting process, remove all cut parts from the laser machine.
You can now remove the protective foil from the top of all cut elements.
Then remove the protective film from the back of the coloured elements and stick on the individual parts one after the other. The marking lines on the white base plate serve as your guide
