In this tutorial we show you how to make a trendy display stand for your aluminium tags using Trotec materials.
This display can of course also be produced with all other machines of the Speedy family or SP series.
For best cutting results, use the acrylic grid table for TroGlass and the aluminium cutting grid table for the wood.
For optimum vacuum, place the material and cover the rest of the engraving table.
Import our design template into your graphic program and adapt it according to your requirements. Start with the wood back part. Send the graphic to JobControl® using the following parameters.
To save material, we cut out material from the back part because it is mostly covered by the acrylic front part

Insert the veneered wood and maximise the vacuum to compensate for any unevenness. Cut the back part, and then clean it with a damp cloth. The suggested parameters can differ depending on the machine used and available laser power.

Now it's time for the small parts: Send the graphic to your Trotec laser. The black-white gradients in the bars safely hold the ball chains due to the slight depressions in the material.

Put the solid wood into your Trotec laser and make sure that it lies flat. Engrave and cut the hanging bars.
Due to the small geometry of the hanging bars, we reduced the JobControl® standard parameter and increased the correction to 20.

The adhesive letters from veneered wood are a special highlight of this display. The frame around the letters work as a positioning aid. Send the file to the laser using the following parameters.
For the letters you can use the material that we cut out from the back part. Before you start cutting, attach some double-sided adhesive tape.

Put the veneered wood with double-sided adhesive tape into your Trotec laser, cut the adhesive letters and clean them with a damp cloth. Now put a strip of paper tape over the letters so that you can easily remove them from the machine.

For static reasons we produced the stand from two layers of solid wood. The graphic is the same for both parts.
Check whether the material thicknesses of front and back part fit into the slot of the stand and adapt them if necessary.

Make the parameter setting. Position the solid wood into your Trotec laser and make sure that it lies flat. Duplicate the job in JobControl® and cut both stands. Clean them with a damp cloth.

For the final part of the display, remove the aluminium cutting grid and insert the vacuum table. Put the acrylic cutting grid on the vacuum table. Send the graphic to the laser using the following settings:

Fix the wooden adhesive letters on the black acrylic front part of the display. Then insert the hanging bars. Finally, put the front and back part into the stand. Your self-made display is ready.
You can combine any colour you like from the Trotec materials range. By adding your corporate logo the display perfectly meets your corporate design.
