Abstract
A laser cutting machine includes at least one galvo having a galvo field of view in which the galvo can cut a material moving with a speed past the galvo. A display in the machine provides an image of at least one pattern to be cut from a material, the pattern comprising of a plurality of objects with each object having a position on the material and each object comprising at least one cut. An optimizer in the machine receives the position on the material of each object of the pattern and assigns a start locations for each cut of each object and a trigger distance for each object to maximize the speed at which the material moves past the galvo while ensuring that each object is cut by the galvo at the object's respective position on the material.
