How it works
It is a free print cost and margin workspace: quick price on the home page, Advanced Mode for file load or manual inputs, machine depreciation, labor, fees, postage, a living filament market median, scrap, energy, CSV, and on-device 3MF. No account required for the tool.
1. Estimate cost and suggested price
On the home page, pick a material preset, enter filament used (g), and set margin to see a suggested sell price. Turn on Advanced Mode (same page or /tools/print-cost) to load a 3MF or enter manually, pick your printer for depreciation, add operator labor, fees or postage, apply a market median filament price, and export CSV. Details: how print cost is estimated.
2. Use the commercial guides
Past prototypes and aiming at roughly 100–500 parts? Read print vs mold for bridge runs and the pilot RFQ checklist.
3. Optional pilot RFQ
Share quantity band, process interest, ship-to country, and a CAD link. No payment on this site. Within two business days you get process notes and next steps. When a live manufacturing partner fits, we can introduce you or send a tracked partner link. Until then, you still get a written recommendation—including public bureaus worth contacting.
4. Who makes the parts
We do not manufacture, hold your money, host a product catalog, or run a quote marketplace. Production sits with whoever you order from. Calculator outputs are estimates only.
Referral disclosure
Affiliate links under the calculator (when live) and manufacturing introductions may earn a fee or commission. That does not change the partner price unless their program says otherwise. Details also appear in our terms and on the RFQ form consent.
