Workflow Consulting
Trotec laser systems offer a seamless workflow. The integration of the laser cutter into your data workflow is seamless thanks to RIP and CAD compatibility. With the fully automated Trotec UniDrive PDF and DXF interface, data from prepress or work preparation can be sent to the laser cutter via monitored folders, so-called "hot folders". Time-consuming preparation or parameterisation of the cutting data is therefore eliminated.
