Questions & Answers (FAQ) about Laser Engraving Machines

 Trotec laser engraving machines can engrave a wide variety of materials. See the following materials:

  • Wood
  • Glass
  • Paper
  • Velcro
  • Plastic
  • Metal
  • Leather
  • Synthetic leather
  • Textile
  • Stone
  • Ceramics
  • Cork
  • Rubber
  • Porslin
  • Mirror
  • Food

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.

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 Trotec's InPack technology, which protects the sensitive components from dust and dirt, the machine requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of lenses and mirrors is recommended to maintain high performance and extend the service life.

CO2 laser and fiber laser are two commonly used technologies in laser processing, but they differ in technology, wavelength, applications and performance. Here is a little deeper comparison:

Technology and wavelength

  • CO2 laser: Uses a gas mixture (carbon dioxide, nitrogen, helium) as the laser medium and generates a beam at 10,6 µm. Perfect for materials such as wood, plastic, glass and paper.
  • Fiber laser: Uses a doped optical fiber as a medium and generates a beam at 1,06 µm, providing high intensity and optimal absorption in metals.

Efficiency and performance

  • CO2 laser:
    • Often have higher power requirements due to their less energy-efficient design. This means greater energy loss in the form of heat.
    • The wider beam profile makes it better suited for larger work surfaces and thicker materials.
  • Fiber laser:
    • Extremely energy efficient and with a longer lifespan because it has no moving parts and gas mixtures that require maintenance.
    • Creates a finer and more focused beam, which provides high precision and faster processing times, especially when working with metal.

Engraving time varies depending on the complexity of the design and the material. Trotec laser engraving machines are very fast, the Speedy 400 engraves at up to 4.32 m/s, which means you can complete your work in a short time.

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.

How a laser engraving machine from Trotec works

A laser engraving machine from Trotec works by using a laser beam that uses heat to permanently engrave a pattern or text onto a surface. The laser technology behind it is advanced, but also user-friendly. Here are the basics of how it works:

  • Laser source: Trotec offers both CO2-laser and fiber laser, depending on the type of material you want to work with. CO2-laser cutters are excellent for wood, plastic and acrylic, while fiber lasers are perfect for engraving and marking on metals.
  • Laser beam movement: The laser beam is guided by mirrors and lenses that focus the laser on the surface you want to engrave. The precise movement is controlled by a computerized system, allowing you to create incredibly detailed and precise patterns.
  • Laser effect: Depending on the material you are working with and the result you want to achieve, you can adjust the laser's power and speed to get everything from shallow marks to deep engravings.

Trotec laser engraving machines also use InPack technology, which protects the sensitive components of the machine from dust and particles. This gives you a machine that requires minimal maintenance and lasts a long time.
