3D Printing Prices

The price of your 3D print is automatically calculated the moment you upload your 3D file to our site. The calculations are interactive and will change as you modify your object. To see the price of your 3D print in just a couple clicks, simply sign up and upload your 3D file.

If you'd like a 3D printing price estimation but you don't yet have your 3D file, you can estimate the price of your 3D print according to it's size and material using the tool below.

3D Printing production modes

For our plastic material, we offer different production methods depending on your needs:

• Standard Production: Your 3D file is placed in our normal production workflow and its production time depends on the space available in our 3D printers. A lead time is announced when you pass the order.
• Express Production: Your file is placed in our production workflow as high priority in order to be 3D printed as soon as physically possible, in most cases 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 is guaranteed: if we don't respect the provided date, it will be fully reimbursed. We will credit your account with the amount of the order. This premium service is only available for white non-polished polyamide.
• Economy Production: Your 3D file is placed in our production workflow depending on the available space in our 3D printers with a lower priority and an average lead time is announced when you pass the order. Your object(s) will be produced usually within ten days. The main benefit is to offer you a better price (up to 30% discount) in comparison to Standard Production to thank you for your flexibility.

For other materials, we only offer Standard Production mode.

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 finishing 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.

To reduce the 3D printing cost, we give you 10 easy tips to follow.
