Feature Request: Estimated Run times on Optimization Reports.
I have been asked multiple times from our shop if we could have estimated machine run times based on the Optimization. They ask for all the machines, but I think the 2 mains would be Nesting and Sawing.
For Nesting because the software is creating the layouts and tool paths, I think that it should be possible to have this built into the stock reports. The tool speed, ramps, etc. is all in the tool files.
For the Sawing think that the same could be true. Sawing processing station may need some speed and additional info, but I think it could be done.
Ideally, we would like to have the full estimated time on the Optimization Summary and then possibly have the "Per Panel" time shown on the Optimization Report aligning with the page layouts.
I'm aware that there is a form of this in a "company" report as a project costing but that help us when our work orders are mixtures of different projects and cabinets. So, we really would like this to be based on the work order optimization.
