DIY LED Sign | Laser Cut Acrylic LED Sign | UV-Print LED Sign

This week we're combining many different materials and techniques to make this amazing Laser Cut and UV Printed LED Sign using our Trotec Speedy 400 laser cutting machine.
We've used our laser-friendly polyethylene foam as backing for the sign and where we place our LED lights. We've UV printed a picture of the moon using our Mimaki UV printer. We then inlaid and kiss-cut 5 different acrylics together and assembled.

[@Parkhead_workshop]

not sure if 'DIY' is the right term :p

[@TrotecLaserCanada]

Lol why because of the laser and UV-printer? :)

[@Parkhead_workshop]

@@TrotecLaserCanada 'DIY' is the antithesis of industrial grade equipment. It's implying that these are hobby-level machines, which of course isn't true :p

[@TrotecLaserCanada]

@@Parkhead_workshop lol that makes sense :)
