Trotec Laser Launches TroWood Color

Innovative laserable MDF with vibrant colors for maximum aesthetic versatility and creative freedom

TroWood Color stands apart in the market by combining a perfectly flat, high-quality MDF core with an opaque, vivid lacquer coating on both sides. This new combination ensures precision cutting, clean engraving, and consistent color intensity. The material’s lacquer is formulated to resist chipping, producing smooth, professional edges and crisp detail.

Available in six vibrant, on-trend colors, TroWood Color offers designers greater creative flexibility than traditional lacquered MDF, which is often limited to white and prone to damage. In contrast to color-through plywood, TroWood Color’s surface delivers unmatched flatness, stability, and bold, uniform color.

Performance on all laser types – including diode lasers

While diode lasers often face challenges cutting through most acrylic colors, TroWood Color is designed with a wood-based core that allows it to be cut easily and efficiently with a diode laser.

It has been rigorously tested to produce high-contrast, clean engraving results on both CO₂ and diode systems. This opens new creative ties for users who previously avoided colored acrylics due to poor laser compatibility. Its pre-applied lacquer finish eliminates the need for painting, drying, or masking, streamlining workflows and saving valuable production time. The smooth, durable coating also prevents engraving residue from embedding into the surface, so dust wipes away in seconds. Combined with a premium MDF core that resists chipping and ensures clean, precise edges, TroWood Color offers both exceptional performance and a flawless finish straight from the laser.

As demand rises for warm, natural-looking materials that are ready to use straight from the supplier, TroWood Color offers the perfect blend of tactile wood appeal and the efficiency of a pre-finished surface. Trotec is proud to be the first to introduce opaque lacquered MDF in vibrant colors, meticulously tested and proven for outstanding performance on both CO₂ and diode laser systems. With uncompromising quality standards, a flawless surface, and a premium look and feel, TroWood Color sets a new benchmark for laserable materials.
