What is the best way to reduce the time it takes to engrave?
I have 28 discs (10cm diameter) that i want to cut/engrave but estimated time is 1 Hour 5 mins and that’s with an engraving speed of 400mm/s which i am not sure if its too fast for the machine?
Using the optimisation settings and the cut settings.
There’s no hard-and-fast rule. Each job can be different.
I recently engraved some vermin traps that had three distinct ‘sets’ of graphics - normally I set engraving to ‘fill all shapes at once’, but in this case it was quicker to have them cut in group order.
Nobody can answer the question of the speed of your settings or machine without knowing a lot more about it.
Making a 100mm shape, putting some text in it and playing with optimisation made a difference of a second, in total, between iterations of 28x 100mm filled disks.
The biggest gains can be made in changing the DPI. I do test engraves on each material to find the best result at the lowest DPI.
If you use 0.1mm line interval, you travel twice as far as using 0.2mm, often for no gain in legibility on organic materials like wood.
