Quick feed-rate calculator
Laser Cutting Speed Calculator
Use this laser cutting speed calculator to estimate feed rate from material, thickness, laser power, assist gas, and quality target. Review speed in m/min, IPM, and mm/s before estimating cycle time or quote cost.
Treat the result as a planning feed rate only — confirm final values with your machine cut chart, controller program, or measured job history before customer pricing.

Compare this planning speed against the cutting speed reference, then use it to estimate cycle time or validate the speed assumption in the full laser cutting calculator.
Speed Inputs
Enter material, thickness, power, gas, and quality target to estimate cutting speed.
How This Speed Estimate Works
1. Baseline speed
Material, thickness, and laser power create the first feed-rate estimate.
2. Gas adjustment
Assist gas adjusts the estimate where process behavior commonly differs by gas choice.
3. Quality target
Fast, balanced, and quality-focused modes make edge-quality tradeoffs explicit.
