We Empower Schools

We believe lasers are a tool to help students achieve lasting success in their careers in countless professional industries including: manufacturing, industrial design, architecture, mechanical engineering, automation, woodworking, furniture building, marketing, signage, metal fabrication, acrylic processing, jewelry, fashion and so much more!

Though we love our Trotec lasers and materials, the real difference is our Trotec EDU program. Trotec EDU is a comprehensive solution for your school, lab, teachers, PTA, and students to achieve a common mission: provide access to laser technology, education, and real-world experience in an affordable way. Trotec EDU can help you find funding, raise PTA money, save operational money, pick lesson plans, and get worry-free onsite service, all supported by the easiest to use software and fastest laser output on the planet, ensuring rapid return on your investment.

Funding (Grants, PLTW, Kits)

We help schools shortcut funding searches with up-to-date grant lists, PLTW alignment, and ready-to-buy kit bundles. Pairing funding paths with project outcomes reduces committee friction and accelerates approvals.

  • EDU Curriculum Guide – A guidebook to teachers on projects and applications to teach their students on handling our lasers.
  • EDU Project Videos – An open database of school projects that teachers and students can share and leverage.
  • Fundraising – Trotec EDU offers help in guiding initiatives for fundraising during school events for the laser program.
  • Onsite Training and Support – Trotec provides onsite setup, support, and webinar training events for teachers and school boards to learn more about laser technology for education.
