Calculation method
Calculation method
Cutting time (seconds)
Sum length / speed for every matched path.
Piercing time (seconds)
Pierce count × seconds per pierce.
Estimated total (minutes)
(Cutting seconds + piercing seconds + supplied travel/setup seconds) / 60.
Symbols and units

Assumptions & limits
Assumptions & limits
- Uses measured speeds for your chosen material and machine. Does not choose safe settings or estimate acceleration automatically. Supply measured travel and setup separately.
