Anniversary trophy combining different Trotec materials

Import our design and adapt it if needed or create your own file. We chose seven pillars for this trophy, but you can adapt the number to your customers' requirements or personal taste.

1. Print settings

Start cutting the wood and send the job to the laser using the following settings:

2. Laser process and laser parameters wood

Put the wood into the laser and activate the vacuum to compensate for eventual unevenness.

Info:

We used the standard laser parameters for walnut solid wood.

The next step is to produce the base and the upper connectors. We used 20 mm acrylic. However, you can also replace it with (several) thinner acrylic elements.
Measure the thickness of the wood parts before you cut the acrylic pieces. Adapt the notches if necessary. 

1. Print settings

Send the job to your laser using following settings:

2. Laser process and laser parameters Acrylic 20 mm

We cut the acrylic with the SP1500 with 400 watt laser power. Use the 5" lens and focus 4 mm into the material.
The slot in the upper connector is used to insert the ball chain. Adapt the engraving depth if necessary.

Tip:

Replace the 20 mm acrylic by material of up to 10 mm thickness and cut it with your Speedy machine. Use the standard parameters optimized for quality and a 2.5" lens. 

Info:

Use the standard laser parameters for TroGlass Clear 20 mm for cutting the pieces

The middle part can of course be made out of any other TroGlass colours or other materials. You can also add a logo if you wish.

1. Print settings

Send the file to your laser using following settings:

 2. Laser process and laser parameters TroGlass Metallic

Depending on how you want to fix the TroGlass Metallic onto the 20 mm base, you can put some double-sided adhesive foil on it before cutting.

Info:

We used the standard laser parameters for TroGlass optimized for quality.

Like with the other materials, measure the thickness of the wood and adapt the kerf if necessary.

1. Print settings

Send the job to the laser.

2. Laser process  and laser parameters Acrylic 5 mm

Put the acrylic on the acrylic cutting grid table.

Info:

We used the standard parameters for TroGlass Clear 5 mm optimized for quality.

The aluminum tag is a unique place to highlight the achievements of the honoured person. You can use tags in other colours and shapes or even other materials like TroLase or AlumaMark for this interesting detail.

1. Print settings

Send the job to your laser with the following settings:

2. Laser process and laser parameters Aluminum tag

Position the tag in the laser. Use the 1.5" lens to show the fine details. Our parameters can vary depending on the laser machine used and the available laser power. We used the SpeedMarker with MOPA laser for the black marking on the back. 

Tipp:

For the exact position of the graphic on the work piece, you can use a template or the simple positioning aids of JobControl^® software

In order to put the trophy together, start with the wood material and put them in the connector. Before adding the last elements, thread the ball chain with the aluminum tag and position the lock in the slot. Then you put the lower parts of the wood elements into the 5 mm acrylic.
Mount the signage by fixing the elements with glue dots using the creased marks on the TroGlass Metallic. Tighten the screws. Finally, glue the TroGlass Metallic piece onto the acrylic base.

Et Voilà - this original trophy is ready.

As a special design element, we created a movable globe, which is an extra highlight for this trophy. Get the step-by-step instruction for the acrylic globe here.
