Trotec Laser, a global leader in laser technology, highlights the advanced capabilities of the Print & Cut process for laser cutting printed acrylic and wood—an increasingly in-demand technique for producing precise, high-impact visual applications in industries such as signage, displays, architecture, and product design. By integrating high-precision laser cutting with modern UV printing, Trotec enables businesses to create intricate, polished final products with exceptional accuracy and visual impact.
Understanding the Print & Cut process for laser cutting UV-printed materials
Print & Cut involves first printing a design onto rigid materials like acrylic or wood, followed by laser cutting the printed item based on exact contours. Using registration marks placed alongside the printed design, Trotec's Vision Print & Cut camera system detects alignment points before the cutting process begins. This ensures that the laser cuts are perfectly matched to the printed layout – even for highly detailed or complex shapes.
This approach minimizes manual effort and reduces material waste, offering a clean, efficient solution for producing consistent, professional-quality results.
What to consider when laser cutting printed acrylic or wood
