Info:

  • Run the engraving from bottom to top so that the dust can be perfectly exhausted. (This minimizes cleaning.)

Fase 5

Step 5: Laser process rhombic pattern

Put your TroLase Thin material in your Trotec-Laser. Remove the protective foil, run the engraving job from bottom to top, and cut the job.

Important:

Because of the size it is important to have very good vacuum. You can increase your vacuum power by covering the rest of your working area with paper.

Fase 6

Step 6: Post-processing

Clean the surface and the edges of both TroLase-materials with a damp cloth. Take the rhombic pattern and apply it to the photoengraved cover. Finally, add your content to the menu card and clip it with the binding screw. And voilà - be proud of your unique menu card.

Tipp:

You can print the content-sheets of your menu card and cut it with the laser. Our JobControl® Vision laser software then supports you in cutting out the printed sheets with highest precision.

Of course you can also create amazing menu cards out of materials like TroGlass or our Trotec Wood. Here are some samples.
