Price calculator, not guesswork
Set price from calculated cost, desired margin, and part complexity.

3D print price calculator: turn true cost into a selling price
The 3D print price calculator starts from true cost and applies margin, failures, and finishing — so you charge with confidence, not guesswork.

Margin by scenario
Simulate different margins for rush jobs, finishing, small batches, or high failure risk.
From calculated price to quote
Use the suggested price as a base for a clear proposal and avoid negotiation without reference.
Calc3D method
Use full true cost before you charge
The recommended formula adds material, energy, machine wear, labor, packaging, failures, and target profit. So the quote does not depend only on weight in grams.

Frequently asked questions
How do I set a 3D print price?
Calculate full part cost, include failure risk, and apply an appropriate profit margin.
How much to charge per hour of 3D printing?
Hourly rate should cover energy, wear, maintenance, risk, and profit. A flat hourly rate without true cost can distort price.
Does per-part vs batch pricing change?
Yes. Batches can spread setup and post-processing, but also increase failure risk and total consumption.
