Lasercut and Engraved
Cardboard Chair

Use the vacuum table with the honeycumb tabletop for cutting and engraving the cardboard. You have to engrave the front of the cardboard and cut it on the back. That's why you have to turn it around after engraving and cut it on the other side.

We are hosting an open house this December to mark the grand opening of our new Regional Service & Support Center in Hayward, Calif., the East Bay subregion of the San Francisco Bay area. The open house will showcase the facility's wide array of laser systems, including high-speed lasers from the Speedy flatbed product line, which can process a broad range of material types and sizes at a rate of 140 in/sec. The facility will also showcase Trotec's flexx laser technology, which combines a CO2 laser for cutting and engraving a wide variety of materials (including plastic, wood, rubber and glass) with a fiber laser for marking plastics and metals, eliminating the need to use and maintain separate systems to process jobs that require both laser types.

The premiere event will take place at the new facility located at 23595 Cabot Blvd., Hayward, Calif., on Thursday, December 15, from 12-6 p.m. Attendees will see hands-on demonstrations of the lasers' broad system capabilities and learn about the many benefits they offer businesses. Laser experts will be on site to answer technical applications questions and to share information on best practices. RSVP

Trotec lasers provide businesses several benefits over other lasers on the market, including:

Boost productivity by processing up to 140 in/sec.
Reduce cost of ownership with unique low-maintenance design.
Patented ceramic laser tubes produce consistent high-quality results for many years.

In addition to open house events, the new facility will provide live demonstrations, technical support, and materials testing. Area sales representative Paul Vogel says he has big plans for the new facility, including an area where he will showcase products that his customers have created using their laser, individualized laser demonstrations, and open house events.  

"The most compelling information we can offer about our lasers is to share examples of what our customers actually do with them," explains Vogel. "The new facility not only gives us the opportunity to show the lasers in action, but also to share real examples. Nothing tells the story better than that."

Trotec Laser President Warren Knipple says the service and support centers play an important part in accommodating customers, and make the buying experience more pleasant.

"Although our laser systems are relatively compact," he explains, "they are large enough that we can't just load them in our cars to take on a sales call. Our regional service and support centers make it more convenient to demonstrate our laser technology to customers in this area."

The new facility is the seventh facility in the United States. Other regional sales and support centers are located in  Canton, Michigan, Arlington, Texas, Hillsborough, New Jersey, Norcross, Georgia, Raleigh, North Carolina, and Tampa, Florida.
