Supplies

  • A co2 laser cutter(Trocen 708C controller)
  • 3mm clear acrylic
  • Designed vector file

Step 1: Setting Software of Laser Cutter

  • First import the designed vector diagram into the cutting machine control software
  • Adjust the imported picture to the size we need to cut, because during the design， we have set the parts that need to be engraved and cut in different colors. Here, we only need to set different parameter for different colors, let them to be engraved and cut.
  • Click the layer parameters on the right to set the engraving and cutting
  • We want to engrave the red part, that is, to scan the pattern on the acrylic. The processing method is laser engraving. This is an 80w machine, the power is 30, the speed is 350, the engraving step is 0.15, and the engraving method is horizontal.
  • Next is what we want to cut. The black frame is what we want to cut. Click on the black part and select laser cutting for the processing method. The maximum power is 55, the minimum power is 55, and the speed is 18. Click OK to set the engraving and cutting parameters. finished
  • Go back to the home page of the control software, click Load, name the file convenient for you to use, click Load the current document, and successfully transfer the file we set to the control board of the machine

Step 2: Start to Place the Material and Determine the Appropriate Focal Length and Position

  • Put the raw materials we need to cut on the honeycomb platform, press the up, down, left, and right buttons on the operation panel to control the laser head to move to any position you want
  • Use the lift control button on the right side of the machine to control the rise and fall of the working platform, and use the focal length scale of the machine to measure the bottom of the laser head to the surface of the material. The same as the width of the focal length scale is the correct focal length, only The correct focal length can guarantee the best effec

Step 3: Determine the Working Position of the Machine

  • This step is to determine the working position of the machine, click the border button on the operation panel, the laser head will preview the working area
  • Make sure that the position and size are appropriate. Press the positioning button on the operation panel. This step is very important. Many people say that when the machine is working, the area of the frame is not pressed to engrave, because we forgot to give the machine. Positioning, it can only start work according to the starting point position last time

Step 4: Start Working

  • Now that the machine has been positioned and the focal length is correct, turn on the fan, and after confirming that the water circulation and blowing system are working normally, press the start button on the panel, and the machine will start to work.
  • The machine will scan, engrave and cut the surface of the material according to the parameters we set. We only need to wait a moment, and a beautiful acrylic cake decoration is completed. Isn't it simple?
