Trotec Laser:
Providing Precision to your Prototype
Trotec is internationally recognised as
the leading manufacturer of computercontrolled laser machines for laser
engraving, laser cutting and laser marking.
Laser technology offers the highest level
of precision when creating architectural
models. With the ability to mark details
as fine as 1 pt, a Trotec Laser aids in
replicating even the most intricate of
details. Filigree designs and the most
detailed geometric shapes can be created
to the nearest tenth of a millimetre due to
the lasers ultra-fine beam, allowing you to
work to the highest level of accuracy.

A Trotec Laser can process with ease
the wide range of materials used in the
construction of architectural models
including acrylic, laminates, wood, textiles,
cardboard, foam, polystyrene, films and
many more.
The patented flexx series of Trotec lasers
enables the user to also mark metal by
incorporating both fiber and CO2 laser
sources in one job without the need to
physically interchange tubes. The user
friendly software, JobControl, enables the
user to identify which sections are suited
to fiber or CO2 simply by colour coding,
saving both time and money.
A multitude of benefits
over traditional tools
A Trotec laser offers a
wide range of benefits
over traditional
cutting and engraving
methods such as milling, plotting
and sawing. As the laser evaporates
the material, no swarf or shavings are
produced, reducing disposal costs. The
beam remains 'laser sharp' and can
process a range of materials in varying
thicknesses and shapes without the
requirement for many different tool
heads. Thus reducing production time and
eradicates sharpening costs.
A Trotec laser allows contactless material
processing. No pressure is exerted on
the material, reducing preparation time
and the risk of damage, which is present
when clamping material during milling.
Laser cutting also produces crystal clear
edges when handling acrylic, removing the
requirement for manual flame polishing.
Customers confirm that when cutting
individual components using a Trotec
laser, production times can be reduced
by up to 80% compared to manual
production methods. "The speed, quality
of the finished product and efficiency
are all far superior" explains customer
Phoebe Nickols, Architectural Assistant at
Liddicoat & Goldhill.
Arrange a
demonstration at one
of Trotec's seven regional
showrooms throughout the UK and
Ireland to experience the capabilities of
a Trotec laser and find the system is as
simple to operate as a printer.
