Trotec Speedy 300 CO2 laser engraver system

Several weeks ago we received a Trotec Speedy 300 CO2 laser engraver system for review in the FLAAR digital imaging evaluation facility on the campus of BGSU. As soon as the staff of CAT (Center for Applied Technology) complete the review we will post it here.

A Universal M-300 is also in the lab. So over the next months we will be evaluating and comparing several brands of laser engraver, laser cutters.

We see lots of cheap Taiwan , Chinese, and Korean laser engravers at trade shows in Turkey and Europe . These cheap laser engravers are also appearing at US trade shows such as Graphics of the Americas . But we prefer to work with laser engravers made in the US , Europe , or Japan , or at least handled (distributed) by well-established companies.
