Cost Parameters
How do we calculate the cost of your 3d prints?
3D Printing Material
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.
Manufacturing Time
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!
3D Printing Specifications
TIP: Order multiple copies of the same part and take advantage of our batch discounts, use a cheaper material like ABS+ for prototypes and testing.
