  • Acrylic
  • Plastic discs
  • Leather
  • Synthetic leather
  • Paper
  • Plastic material
  • Textiles
  • Wood
  • Velcro
  • Cork
  • Rubber
  • Food

Trotec laser cutters cannot cut any type of metal.

Please note that certain types of materials should not be engraved or cut with a laser due to their chemical composition. These materials contain hazardous substances that are released during processing in the form of gases and dust, which affect both the user and the operation of the machine. Some of these materials include:

  • Inferior Leather (chrome VI)
  • Carbon
  • Polyvinyl chlorides (PVC)
  • PVC based synthetic leather
  • Polyvinyl butyral (PVB)
  • Polytetrafluoroethylenes (PTFE/Teflon)
  • Beryllias
  • Materials containing halogens (e.g. fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine and astatine), epoxy or phenolic resins.

A laser cutter can cut a variety of materials. There are a few factors that determine the maximum cutting thickness – including the material, the laser power and the speed. The machines’ laser power ranges from 30-200 W.

Normally, you can count 10 w = 1 mm on plastic and acrylic.

No, Trotec machines are designed to be user-friendly. Their software, Ruby, is easy to use even for beginners. Very little training is required for the user and an integrated guide provides additional tips if needed. You can choose which material you are working with and which material effects you are looking for, e.g. deeper engraving, dark engraving or cutting out, and the cloud-based material database helps you streamline the process.  

Ruby contributes to a simple and fast workflow from idea to final product!

We also offer training and support if you need help getting started.

 Thanks to the protected design and robust construction, Trotec laser cutters require minimal maintenance. However, regular maintenance such as cleaning lenses and mirrors is recommended to maintain high performance and extend the service life.

Trotec laser cutters are equipped with several safety features – protective covers, temperature sensors, safety switches such as a main switch, key switch and emergency stop button. These minimize risks for the operator.

Trotec machines have the CE marking, which meets EU requirements for safety, health and environmental protection. This gives you as the user a guarantee that the machine is safe to use and complies with applicable legislation.

It is not an easy question to answer. Each machine is configured based on the customer's wishes and therefore a fixed price cannot be set. Factors that affect pricing include, for example:

  • Laser source – What material should you laser process?
  • Laser power – How many units will you produce and what is the thickness of the material?
  • Workspace – How big are your workpieces?
  • Accessories and equipment – ​​Worktable, Exhaust system, rotary engraving accessories, lenses, etc.

But you can expect a Trotec CO2 laser to cost from around SEK 100.

All Trotec machines are developed and built in Austria and maintain a high quality.
