Creating templates
Engrave multiple parts in just one work process
What are the advantages of using templates for laser engraving?
Which material is suitable for creating templates?
In general, you can use all the materials you can cut with the laser when creating your templates. Laminate e.g. TroLase is a particularly cost-effective option. It is dimensionally stable, easy to process and available in many designs.
Also pay attention to the thickness of the parts to be engraved when creating templates. For thin objects such as aluminum tags, use flat material as a material for the template so that you can quickly and easily remove the parts later. For thicker workpieces such as pens, the material for the template also needs to be thicker so that the workpieces don't slip in the template.
How do I create the layout for my template?
Thanks to the base, loaded templates can be easily moved from the work table into your Trotec laser. The base should therefore be made of solid material. When gluing the base and template, ensure that they are glued properly one above the other.
