Step by step

Step 1

Step 1: Design

Import your own graphics and edit the design as needed. Send the snack bowl graphics to your Trotec laser machine with the following criteria:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard Job	500dpi	none

Halftone	Others
color	Optimized geometries, internal geometries first

Step 2

Step 2: Laser processing TroCraft Eco

Place the TroCraft Eco, made of pure cellulose fiber, on the honeycomb cutting table inside your laser. Cover the remaining surface of the work area to create a stronger vacuum. Parameters may vary by laser machine model and beam strength.

Step 3

Step 3: Bending

Carefully bend the four scratched fold lines. Continue and repeat this process until the edges fold easily. Next, bend the four middle cut lines in the opposite direction. Once the bowl shape begins to form, insert the fork into the two recesses. The bowl should now hold its shape on its own.
