    Working time calculation

    Hi! I have a Universal Versalaser and would like to know if anybody heard about software that calculate the estimated working time. The driver I have installed is not capable to do that. I know the new Versa driver do, but doesn´t work with my machine.
    Any help will be appreciated - Thanks!

    This is something people have been looking for a long time, and I know of no such thing.

    What I do sometimes for pricing ahead of time is run one of the item, with the door open so the laser doesn't fire, just to time it. Eventually, though, after nearly 4 years, I can do a pretty close guestimate.

    Thanks for your response bisjoe. For your calculation method I can add a tip. When a design is very heavy, to avoid the lost of time, I usually run it in the machine in a smaller scale, for example 25%. After that I multiply the result by 4 and have an estimated time. It is not very accurate, but avoid to miss 1 hour for a quote.
