Laser cutting length

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I wanted to know if there is any possibility to Know the distance the laser has to travel to cut a piece of metal with complex shape.

The laser company that  i work with is counting the cost of the material + the time the laser is working.

It is for cutting 1000 pc in stainless so i wanted to make a comparaison between the cutting length of the two different Shapes.

Thanks

If you choose Inspect and select the face, it will give you the loop length:

One other option is to program it. Right click on the toolpath and select "Machining Time":

You can right click the setup and click machine time so that you can know the distance which needs to cover or else you can use setup sheet to get the values.

also if you put the right feeds then it will also give you the exact machine time which needs to cut the part
