Tip:

Thanks to the big range of Trotec materials,

you can offer alternative colors for your customers easily.

Download our sample graphic and alter it to your needs. Send the graphics for the different TroGlass-materials to your Trotec Laser with the following settings:  

Position the first TroGlass material on the acrylic cutting grid of your Trotec laser and cut the individual pieces. Do the same with the other materials as well. You can leave the protective foil on the material if you want. We removed it because we did not want to remove them for every single piece. Please note that the parameters used can differ depending on the laser machine used and the available laser power

The most time-consuming part of this sample is definitely the assembly of the art piece. First glue the two star like base plates with the circle of TroGlass Satins.

Make sure that the two large pieces are well positioned edge to edge. Now turn the decoration and remove the protective foil (if you haven't removed it before cutting). Fix the two half circles of TroLase Foil.

Now take the time to apply the pieces of the different materials. Glue it on the white base plate only when you are sure that they are positioned correctly. It is helpful to have an image of the finished graphic to hand. You will find this image in the download document provided.

If all pieces have been fixed, you can mount the decoration on the wall using the mounting devices. 

• Use this great decoration as a wall clock as well, by just cutting a hole in the middle and insert the clockwork from the back.
  
  
• By combining other TroGlass colors and wood types, you can easily create a version that fits perfectly into any office, clubhouse, lounge, etc.
  
  
• Use a mirror foil of the TroLase Thins-prodcut range instead of the white TroLase Foil. As a result you get a reflecting surface, which is a great effect.
