Preparation

Required material
  • 1 sheet TroGlass Frosted, 1/8" (available at Trotec) 
  • Material to cover the engraving table (e.g. paper)
  • Paper tape
Machine used
  • Speedy 360 flexx
  • 80 Watt with 2" lens

For this sample you can use any laser machine from the Speedy series.

Important
  • Use the acrylic cutting grid table or the acrylic slat cutting table
  • Remove the protection foil from the side of the acrylic that you want to engrave on. Leaving the other side of the protection foil on will protect the acrylic sheet from getting scratches during handling.

Step 2: Laser process

For a perfect result we recommend using the acrylic cutting grid table or the acrylic slat cutting table. It avoids back reflections on the material. Position the acrylic sheet into your laser, remove the protection foil and cover the rest of the table to maximize the exhaust power.
