– Delivery times: In most cases your object is 3D printed within 48 hours (after reception of your payment if you’re paying with a cheque or wire transfer and after approval of your 3D file by our production team).
– Lead time: lead times guaranteed: if we don’t respect the provided date, the difference between express standard printing service will be reimbursed
– Price: this premium service is available with an extra cost compared to standard prices.
– Use restriction: This option is only available for raw white plastic. Maximum dimensions of your design have to be 290x290x290 mm.

Understand 3D Printing Costs

The pricing is based on a series of factors, including: volume of the object, amount of raw material used, added human work (mostly for our finishes) and multiple other factors, that you will discover in details.

Reducing 3D Printing Costs

Many factors affect an object’s 3D printing price. It is however possible to reduce your 3D print cost to fit your project’s budget:

- - Choose the correct material and finish for your project’s needs. The base costs and finishing processes differ between each material, higher raw material cost and longer the 3D printing times increase the cost of your 3D prints.
  - Reduce the amount of raw material used. With our hollowing tool , you can reduce the price of your 3D print in just a few clicks.
  - Choose economy mode : this option is available on polyamide only. Economy mode is a good fit if you don’t need your object to be delivered on an exact date. You can save between 1 and 30% on the price of your 3D prints compared to standard mode.
  - Take advantage of our automatically calculated volume discounts for your 3D prints:
    – 5 to 10 copies: 3% discount
    – 10 to 50 copies: 5% discount
    – 50 to 100 copies: 7% discount
    – for more than 100 copies, please enquire
    – Batch Control option: the price per unit of your series 3D prints in plastic will be reduced greatly using this option. Batch Control can be activated if you increase your unit quantity to 20 or more. This option allows you to optimize your object position in the 3D printing batch and thus to get the best price.

- - Plastic: average processing time of 2 to 3 days. An additional 24 to 48 hours is required for polished and painted pieces.
  - Grey Plastic: average processing time of 6 to 7 days.
  - Multicolor: average processing time of 2 to 3 days. An additional 24 to 48 hours is required for varnished pieces.

3D printing times can vary, depending on 3D printer batch availability. The accurate shipping estimation is provided at checkout.

It is possible to follow your object through every step of the 3D printing process on our order tracking page.

Delivery Times and Pricing

The delivery time depends on the shipping option chosen at checkout.

If you choose two different delivery modes, such as Standard and Express, our service will treat it as two separate orders. Thus, you will pay the shipping fees twice.
