What this workbench does
Estimate ideal raster travel time from engraving size, line spacing and scan speed.
It combines an editable calculator, baseline comparison, one-input sensitivity chart, transparent formulas, worked examples and a printable measurement sheet.
How to assess the result
Time a small representative engraving, then tune the overhead percentage against the machine’s actual behavior.
The calculations implement the stated geometric or arithmetic model. They are estimates where real materials, equipment or processes differ from that model. The specific assumptions are listed on the calculator and reference pages.
