Step 2

Step 2: Laser process

For best results, we recommend using the acrylic cutting grid table. It avoids back reflections on the material. Position the acrylic sheet into your laser and cover the rest of the table to maximize the exhaust power. Mark and cut the design out of TroGlass.

Laser Parameters:

Color Process Power (%) Speed (%) ppi/Hz

Info:

  • The 2.85" flexx lens has a lower intensity on the material than the 2" lens. This is why we haven't used the standard laser parameters for TroGlass.

Step 3: Post-processing
