Laser cutting and engraving is ideal for creating signage, gifts, decor and more. However it is important that users of the technology, and its associated consumables, consider the materials used, efficiency, and health and safety.
According to Trotec Laser, material preparation is a critical factor, as well as ensuring the right choice in optics, having compressed air, and a suitable exhaust system, to name a few.
In addition, the correct choice of materials is important. There are diverse ranges of wood types, for example, and therefore Trotec says that ‘laser users need to consider its various characteristics such as density and resin content during processing’ to produce suitable products.
At the upcoming Sign Africa Expo, taking place from 13-15 September at Gallagher Convention Centre, visitors will see state-of-the-art laser cutting and engraving technologies, with live demonstrations and experts available to advise on the best materials and product solutions for businesses.
Entrance to the event is free, please register online. The event is sponsored by Platinum sponsors Roland DG South Africa and Stixo Signage Supplies. The event is co-located with Africa Print, FESPA Africa, Modern Marketing, and Graphics, Print & Sign.
