Professional cost estimation for your 3D printing projects
Enter your part name and select the material type from the dropdown menu to begin
Input the estimated filament weight (in grams) and printing time (in hours) from your slicer
Add any additional costs such as hardware components and packaging materials
Fine-tune advanced settings for more precise calculations and cost optimization
Our 3D printing cost calculator provides highly accurate results by considering multiple factors including material costs, machine time, labor, and overhead. However, actual costs may vary depending on specific printer settings, environmental conditions, and local pricing factors.
The calculator considers filament costs, printing time, power consumption, machine depreciation, labor costs, and additional materials. Advanced settings allow fine-tuning of these parameters for more accurate estimates.
Most 3D printing slicer programs provide an estimated filament weight. For the most accurate results in our calculator, use the weight indicated by your slicer software after configuring your print settings.
Labor costs are particularly important for accurate pricing, especially if running a business. This includes time spent on print preparation, post-processing, and quality control. Our calculator helps you account for these costs for better pricing decisions.
Use our calculator to experiment with different settings and materials. Consider factors like infill density, layer height, and print orientation to optimize material usage while maintaining quality. The advanced settings section can help identify areas for cost savings.
