Estimate laser cut/engrave time

Post by dcardonlineru »

I am looking for suggestions of software that can estimate how long a laser will take to engrave or cut a file. Alternatively, I would need software that logs the lasers use and duration. Specifically I will be using a 40w gcc laser pro spirit but it would be nice if the software could estimate time for other cutters as well.

On my software Laserworks 6 there is a simulation that will give you the time it is pretty close to the time the laser will take

Same with RDworks V8- it is not exact but a good reference. What machine/DSP do you have?
