What this workbench does
Estimate layer count and a simple per-layer time budget for a constant-layer-height print.
It combines an editable calculator, baseline comparison, one-input sensitivity chart, transparent formulas, worked examples and a printable measurement sheet.
How to assess the result
Calibrate seconds per layer against a finished comparable job and keep warmup separate from motion time.
The calculations implement the stated geometric or arithmetic model. They are estimates where real materials, equipment or processes differ from that model. The specific assumptions are listed on the calculator and reference pages.
