Laminates are well suited for interior and exterior applications, making them a very popular material for laser processing. Available in many colours and textures, laminates are typically used for signage, dataplates, labels, signboards, nameplates and industrial marking.
‘Laminates’ are a name for sheets of 2- or 3-ply plastic. They are made from a core layer of modified acrylic, coated with a very thin top layer. The engraving process reveals the colour of that core material underneath.
Laser processing creates durable markings that can make your final product interesting and impressive. Anything is possible – from a simple rectangular shield, to a series of complex contours. Production becomes easy with a Trotec laser engraving machine.
The laser beam is quickly becoming the universal tool for quick and easy materials processing. There are no grinding costs, which are common for milling cutters and drills, so laser engraving and cutting is cost-effective and highly profitable. During processes like mechanical engraving, materials are usually clamped in place. This is unnecessary when using a non-contact, laser engraving system. Save yourself some money and maybe even limit the risk of damage to your materials.

"The sales people and support staff at Trotec have been amazing for us and very helpful. Their patience and knowledge is outstanding. Trotec has made a huge and positive impact on our business, opening up so many more new and exciting opportunities for us."- Chrissy Bourn - Owner of Trophy Express -
"I've found TroLase to be a fantastic product! I find the heat of the laser doesn't warp the surrounding sheet like you get with other brands. Also the colours engrave a lot better, for example the black in the White/Black sheets, it actually comes out black. I've used several other brands and the black comes out a grey colour. Not great when you're expecting jet black. But TroLase comes out black! I would recommend TroLase because it's a great product that does what you expect it (and need it) to do. There's nothing worse than handing over a finished product that you're not proud of to a customer that you're hoping to get more work out of in the future, and the materials you use play a massive part in the finished product. Using TroLase gives me confidence that the customer is going to get what they are expecting and I am going to be happy to put my name to the job."- Jeffrey Tennant - WA Engraving -
There are many flexible and rigid laminates, all suited for either laser engraving or milling. We don’t advise using the milling-only laminates in the laser engraver – instead, visit our materials website to look at laser-friendly laminates.
When engraving laminates, we recommend using the vacuum table. It sucks the material and attaches it to the table during the engraving process. The thinner the topcoat on the laminate is, the faster the layer can be ablated. Using the vacuum table will ensure your material will not move around during processing – you’ll have the best possible results every time!
Always ensure that you engrave laminates from the bottom and work your way up. This way, dust will be extracted upwards, leaving the top layer unharmed. In JobControl® under “Platte” [Plate] → “Platte einstellen” [Set plate] you can specify which edge to start the laser engraving process.
From time to time, slight grooves may appear while you are engraving. A Z-offset of 0.5-2mm will help to stop these grooves from forming, allowing you to produce smooth, clean results.
Sometimes, cutting a dark laminate with a bright topcoat can damage the coloured layer and any engravings you may have completed there. This is because the laser’s power can occasionally be too powerful for the laminate. We recommend engraving the desired motif first, and then applying masking tape on top of it. This will protect the brightly coloured material while your cut the laminate, and you can even pull the remaining dust off with the tape once the job is complete.
