Trotec Speedy 400
Trotec's flagship CO2/flexx laser engraver-cutter: 1016 × 610 mm working area, up to 4.32 m/s processing speed and 80–120 W CO2 laser options — specified from Trotec's own UK site and dated technical datasheet, with a verified UK subsidiary and named showrooms.
What it is
A large-format laser engraver and cutter: 1016 × 610 mm working area with CO2 laser options (80–120 W current; flexx versions add a 30–50 W fibre source) for engraving and cutting signage substrates, wood, acrylic, leather, anodised metals and more. The Speedy 400 requires suitable extraction — required airflow, pressure and connection sizing should be confirmed for the exact machine configuration with Trotec UK. Runs Trotec's Ruby laser software.
Who it may be relevant for: Sign makers and personalisation businesses adding engraving and laser cutting alongside print — an adjacent revenue line with its own materials workflow.
UK market notes
- Trotec operates its own UK subsidiary — Trotec Laser Limited (Companies House 06034809, registered at Boldon Colliery), incorporated in 2006. The en-gb site is operated by Trotec Laser GmbH (Marchtrenk, Austria; TroGroup).
- Electrical supply is stated as single-phase AC 110–230 V, 50/60 Hz with brochure power figures of 0.94–1.8 kW varying by configuration; the current brochure lists 1~230 V / 10.2 A and 1~115 V / 15.3 A variants. Confirm the UK-supplied configuration and any extraction electrical needs with Trotec UK.
- Trotec's October 2023 engineering datasheet went offline during this record's verification — figures only it carried (accuracy, exhaust sizing, ambient range, CE/FDA wording) are shown unverified rather than silently retained; the current page and 2026 brochure carry the specification set shown here.
- The current brochure states laser class 2; no UKCA statement appears on any fetched page. Warranty terms are not published on the fetched sources — confirm with Trotec UK.
Specifications
Engraving & cutting
| Specification | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Working area | 1,016 × 610 mm working area; maximum workpiece height 305 mm (lens-dependent) | Verified[2] |
| Laser | CO2 sealed-off, air-cooled laser (10.6 µm), 80–120 W options in the current lineup; flexx versions add a 30–50 W fibre laser. The October 2023 datasheet also lists a 60 W option no longer on the current page | Verified[1] |
| Maximum processing speed | Maximum processing speed 4.32 m/s; acceleration 50 m/s² (manufacturer maximums — job speed depends on material, power and resolution) | Verified[2] |
Electrical & environment
| Specification | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical | Single-phase AC 110–230 V, 50/60 Hz; the 2026 brochure states power figures of 0.94–1.8 kW varying by configuration. The brochure lists 1~230 V / 10.2 A and 1~115 V / 15.3 A variants — confirm the UK-supplied configuration with Trotec UK | Verified[2] |
| Extraction requirement | Extraction is required equipment. Required airflow, pressure and connection sizing should be confirmed for the exact machine configuration with Trotec UK before installation. | Not verified |
Physical
| Specification | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Dimensions (W × D × H) | 1,428 × 952 × 1,073 mm (with trolley, per the current brochure) | Verified[2] |
| Weight | Approx. 295–310 kg (CO2 versions); flexx versions approx. 335–350 kg (current brochure) | Verified[2] |

Warranty & compliance
| Specification | Value | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Compliance | Conformity wording was not confirmed from the reviewed current sources — the October 2023 datasheet carrying the CE and FDA statements went offline during verification; the current brochure states laser class 2. Confirm the supplied UK machine's conformity documentation with Trotec UK. | Not verified |
| Warranty | Warranty terms are not published on the fetched official sources — confirm with Trotec UK before purchase. | Not verified |
Manufacturer claims
- “Trotec's fastest laser engraver and cutter”[1]
Limitations
- Maximum speed and acceleration are mechanical maximums, not job throughput — engraving time depends on material, resolution and power.
- Extraction is required and adds cost, space and noise planning; airflow, pressure and connection sizing must be confirmed with Trotec UK for the exact configuration.
- Warranty terms, conformity wording and current extraction sizing are unverified on the reviewed current sources — the engineering datasheet went offline during verification.
Equipment
Vivid Matrix MX-530DP
Vivid Laminating Technologies' dual-sided roll laminator: 500 mm maximum film width, 10 m/min mechanical speed and 0–140 °C temperature range, with a 32 A supply requirement stated on the datasheet — specified from the UK manufacturer's own datasheet and current product page.

Guide
How to price print jobs: costs, margin, and what shops get wrong
A practical pricing method for print and decoration businesses: build the true cost of a job (materials, labour, setup, overhead), choose margin deliberately, and avoid the mistakes — free owner labour, margin/markup confusion, and copying competitor prices.
