Preparation

Required material

1/4 sheet of TroLase ADA Signage 1.6 mm black with adhesive foil
1/4 sheet of TroLase ADA Signage 1.6mm light grey
Rest of TroLase ADA Signage 1.6 mm red with adhesive foil
(materials available at Trotec)
Clockwork
Material to cover the engraving table (e.g. paper)
Paper tape

Machine used

Speedy 360
80 Watt with 1.5" lens

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

Important

Use the acrylic cutting grid table or the acrylic slat cutting table. They eliminate reflections of the laser beam and deliver super cutting results.
Remove the protective foil after laser processing to protect the material from being scratched
Due to the filigree graphics we used the 1.5" lens for this sample

Step by step

Step 1

Step 1: Import /create design template

Import our design template into your graphic program and send the jobs to the laser.

Print settings:

Process mode	Resolution	Cut line
Standard	500 dpi	none

Halftone	Others
color	enhanced geometries, inner geometries first

Step 2

Step 2: Laser process

For a perfect result we recommend to use the acrylic cutting grid table or the acrylic slat cutting table. They minimise the reflections of the laser beam on the back of the material. Position the Trolase ADA sheet into your laser and cover the rest of the table to maximise the exhaust power.

Laser Parameters

Info:

We used the standard laser parameters from JobControl^® optimized for quality. We recommend these settings due to the filigree design. The light grey base plate, however, can be cut with the faster "speed" parameters.
The material parameters of JobControl^® can be downloaded from www.troteclaser.com

Step 3

Step 3: Post-processing

Start by removing the protection foil from the base plate. Then remove the protective foil from the adhesive, glue the two discs together. Then remove the protective foil from the top plate and position the red part. Then mount the clockwork and this extraordinary design object is ready.

Inspirations

You can use any other materials like TroGlass, Acrylic or wood to produce this sample. You can find a large number of materials on www.engraving-supplies.com.au.
With the fiber laser of the Speedy flexx we have been able to mark the watch hands as well.
