The advantages of laser technology in architectural model making Trotec Laser is internationally recognised as the leading manufacturer of computer controlled laser machines for laser marking, cutting and engraving. When creating detailed architectural models, laser technology offers users a number of benefits over other technologies. Trotec lasers are able to create detailed geometric shapes with a high level of precision using a variety of materials including wood, acrylic and polystyrene, as well as other materials frequently used in the construction of architectural models. The preparation of materials is one of the biggest advantages that laser machines hold over other methods, as the material does not need to be clamped while cutting. Due to the clean cut of the laser there is no need to clean or polish the material after cutting, enabling faster processing times. As easy to use as a regular printer, Trotec machines print layouts directly from the construction program. The high quality axis drive and intelligent routing of air flow ensures consistent optimal engraving and cutting results. To explore the benefits to your business of owning a Trotec laser machine you can contact us to arrange a free, no obligation demonstration at one of our six regional showrooms throughout the UK and Ireland.
