Reduce laser travel times

Hey all, Need some advice on reducing engraving times on my 3018 CNC Diode laser engraver. Have included 2 pics of the job I am doing. It is only the text to engrave but as you can see from the preview pic
there is a lot of travel time and its saying it will take 9-10 hours to complete. Its only a 2.5 Diode so have to run around 50% speed & burn at 100%. I have checked & tried settings in the optimization settings but time doesn’t change. Is it possible to engrave each word individually instead of the laser just running back & forth across the panel.


Try changing cut layer settings to “Fill shapes individually”.

berainlb you just cut my engraving time by half, Thank you for that my friend.

Great. Keep in mind that it might not be all a bed of roses as it may change the output quality depending on your setup.

No worries will try it on a smaller job first. Cheers
