Depends whether you want to get into laser engraving. In South Africa , Trotec is the most expensive of all lasers, very nice machine BUT these days you can import a VERY GOOD chinese machine with more power and a bigger work area at about 1/5th of the price.
Some other “mainstream” makes are as good as trotec at a lot cheaper too. Epilog , ULS, GCC etc..
But go to the roadshow , see what lasers can do for your business if you don’t have one , the best thing we ever did was get into lasering , I now have 8 lasers running 7-8 hrs a day….
Look at my website to get some indication of what you can do – have a look at the acrylic awards etc.

thanks… i’ve looked at you site and its quite interesting… I have a chinese laser at the moment and I’ve seen epilog and trotec at a show this year and I have to say the chinese lasers are cheaper and on the surface seem to be just as good but they aren’t… my tubes don’t last long and the service/backup is inadequate… it was alright as my first machine but i wouldn’t buy one again.
Like most things you pay for what you get,
I seem to remember from the show Epilog and Trotec machines were about the same price … maybe its different where you are but not in UK…
