Pricing Information FAQ
+ How much does it cost to use a 3D printing service?
The price of a 3D printing order is dependent on the geometry of the part, the selected material, finishes, quantity and speed of the service. A component can cost as little 65p; however, we have a minimum order cost of £30+VAT. Large parts can cost hundreds or even thousands of pounds but can be made cheaper by following our tips.
+ How are online 3D printing quotes calculated?
When you upload 3D CAD files to our instant quote tool, we measure some simple part parameters. Our prices generate using formulae to estimate the cost accurately. There is a different algorithm for each 3D printing technology and additional charges for finishes and expedited lead times.
+ Can I get a 3D printing quote without a 3D File?
No. 3D files are required to calculate prices for 3D printing; however, you can generate an estimate by using 3D data with similar geometry. If you do not have a 3D file, get in touch for a CAD design quote. We can create 3D files and estimate the cost for 3D printing the design.
+ What payment methods are available for 3D printing orders?
We accept credit and debit card payments for online orders made through the instant quote portal on our website. Invoices with 30-day terms are available for trade accounts.
+ How can I get a discount for 3D printing?
Quantity price breaks are available for bulk orders of parts. These discounts automatically apply to low volume batch production runs purchased through our instant quote portal.
Further price reductions can be made by following the tips on our pricing information page.
20% discounts are available for students
+ I need to cancel my 3D printing order, can I get a refund?
It depends. Please contact us immediately to discuss the status of your order.
Once we initiate the manufacturing process, we cannot halt it, making it impossible to recuperate production costs. In such cases, we do not offer refunds.
However, if we haven't begun producing some or all of the items in your order, we can provide a full or partial refund.
