Architectural model making
Laser cutting and engraving of wood, cardboard and plastic parts. With a laser you can create detailed 3D models, house models, presentation, competition and functional models.
How can a laser cutter be used in architectural model making?
You can laser cut and engrave the smallest components for architectural model making and model making in the toy industry. Fast and precise laser cutting of textiles, plastic, wood, veneer, MDF, PMMA, cardboard, paper, foam, polystyrene, film, acrylic, plastic and much more.
Draw your shapes as usual in a CAD program or your graphics program. The laser cutting machine works with maximum precision and cuts your components for detailed building models, model railways, true-to-scale reproductions of various constructions or architectural models. You can use the parts immediately without post processing – and without burrs, dust or swarf. The cuts are precise and clean.

What our customers say.
"Regional connections are important to us; they enable us to provide rapid service on site and support an active exchange of information about new developments and improvements.”

“Having a Trotec laser engraving machine has been a really good drawcard in getting people into the Makerspace. When they learn more about it and realize how versatile and useful it is, they often stay here a lot longer and build projects around it.”
