Our Pricing Structure

Cost Parameters

Once a model is uploaded to our system, the quoting software will calculate the amount of material to be used during the printing process, including supports where necessary.

TIP: Avoid large cantilevered features to reduce the amount of support needed, select a low infill percentage for your prototypes and production tests.

Complex models and geometries require longer processing times.
This parameter covers a range of factors including machine cost, depreciation and maintenance.

TIP: Keep it simple, reduce the amount of small features, logos, writings, holes, recesses and unsupported sections to speed up the print!

These are additional factors we use to calculate the total cost of your project, including quantity of items, type of material.

TIP: Order multiple copies of the same part and take advantage of our batch discounts, use a cheaper material like PLA / PETG / ABS  for prototypes and testing.
