Pricing

Priced like engineering, not guesswork.

Upload a part and the quote itemizes every cost driver — material, machine time, setup, finishing. No hidden minimums, no "contact us for pricing" on standard work.

Starting prices

Cost drivers

What actually moves the number.

Material volume
Cubic centimeters of material consumed, scaled by material cost factor and infill.
Machine time
Print hours from part volume and layer height, at the machine's hourly rate.
Setup
Per-job preparation and file handling — amortized across the quantity.
Post-processing
Support removal, smoothing, dyeing, painting, inserts and assembly.
Quality inspection
Optional dimensional reports and documentation.
Quantity
Nesting efficiency and amortized setup reduce the unit price at volume.
Priority
Express production compresses the queue at a 1.42× multiplier.
Destination
Regional shipping, duties and tax applied at checkout.

Quantity discounts

Unit price falls automatically as setup amortizes and parts nest more efficiently.

2–4 business days — queue priority on qualifying parts.

When we quote manually

Automated pricing covers most work. These cases get a human engineer before we quote a number:

  • Metal additive (DMLS) — orientation and support strategy are engineered per part
  • PEEK, ULTEM and other high-temperature polymers
  • Quantities above 50 pieces — priced as production programs
  • Critical tolerances verified against process capability
  • Assemblies, custom finishing and inspection-heavy programs

The only accurate quote is your geometry.
