You'll be lasering in no time, after just a few hours!
Learning how to use a Trotec laser is easy - as the machines are designed to be ergonomic, user friendly, and supported with easy to use (yet powerful) JobControl® Software. On average, just a half days training will enable you to pick up the basics you need to start laser engraving and laser cutting.
The control panel that operates a number of basic functions can be learned in minutes. The mechanical aspects can also be explained quickly. Perhaps the most important part of the training is learning the features of JobControl® laser software. Its intuitive user interface means you can learn how to use it in a few hours. You can select the version of JobControl® that best suits the needs of the user: There is a beginner, advanced and expert mode.
The technician who installs your new laser will provide you with the initial training on the day of installation. This training lasts about half a day.
