Claim 5:
6. A machining estimation method, comprising:
photographing, by a camera, a part to be estimated and a dimension reference marker, the part to be estimated being produced by cutting a sheet metal in advance;
generating, by an image processing unit, edge data by extracting an edge of the part photographed by the camera;
enlarging or reducing, by the image processing unit, the edge data based on a size of the dimension reference marker photographed by the camera such that a size of the edge corresponds to an actual size of the part; and
calculating, by a machining time calculation unit, a length of a cutting line for cutting out the part from the sheet metal based on the edge of the edge data corresponding to the actual size of the part, and calculating, by the machining time calculation unit, a machining time for producing the part by cutting the cutting line in accordance with a material and a thickness of the sheet metal.
