The Full Story

"When we first started TrophySmack, we were using outdated equipment that severely limited our capabilities. Orders were backing up, quality was inconsistent, and we were turning away business because we simply couldn't keep up with demand.

After extensive research, we decided to invest in the Mintech 150W CO2 Laser. From day one, the difference was night and day. The precision and speed allowed us to not only catch up on backorders but also expand our product line into premium crystal awards and intricate acrylic designs that were previously impossible for us to produce.

The Ruida controller with LightBurn compatibility meant our designers could seamlessly transition their workflow. The learning curve was minimal thanks to Mintech's exceptional training and support. Within two weeks, our team was operating at full capacity.

But here's what really blew us away: the ROI. We launched a new line of personalized crystal awards for corporate clients. The quality and turnaround time we could now offer positioned us as a premium provider in the market. In just six months, the revenue from this new product line alone has paid for the laser four times over.

The reliability has been outstanding. With the easy maintenance access and robust build quality, we've had virtually zero downtime. The shop air integration keeps everything clean, and the compact footprint meant we didn't need to expand our facility.

For any business in the trophy and award industry looking to scale, I cannot recommend Mintech enough. This isn't just a machine purchase – it's a complete transformation of your business capabilities. The support team has been there every step of the way, and the equipment has exceeded every expectation we had."
