What is included in the per-part price?
You want a fair price. You want the part to work. Those goals are not in conflict. We use FDM because it scales well, costs less than the alternatives, and prints in real engineering polymers.
We do not pad the quote. The per-part number you see covers the material, the print, and packaging. Domestic shipping is a flat $7.95 per order, shown before you pay. No customs, no import fees. Very heavy orders over 50 lb get a freight quote. If your part needs extra work, we list that work as a separate line item on the quote.
Per-Part Pricing Tiers: 1 to 9, 10 to 49, 50 to 249, 250 to 999, 1,000-Plus
We show one flat price per part. As your order grows, the per-part price drops. One to nine parts sits at our base rate. Ten to forty-nine costs a little less each. Fifty to two hundred forty-nine, then two hundred fifty to nine hundred ninety-nine, then one thousand and up each drop again.
| Order quantity | Per-part price |
|---|---|
| 1 to 9 | Base rate |
| 10 to 49 | Lower |
| 50 to 249 | Lower still |
| 250 to 999 | Lower again |
| 1,000 and up | Lowest |
The instant quote applies the right tier for you the moment you set your quantity. You never do the math. You just see the per-part price and the order total.
Material Cost Comparison: PLA, PETG, PETG-CF, OPM, ABS, PA-CF
PLA and PETG sit in the same low cost band. PETG-CF costs a little more than plain PETG, and OPM a little more again, which is the trade for a plastic built to sit outside. ABS sits in the middle. PA-CF sits at the top because carbon-fiber-filled nylon costs more per kilogram and prints slower.
TPU sits above PETG and below PA-CF. TPU prints slowly, which adds machine time to the cost.
Four of these price instantly online: PLA, PETG, PETG-CF and OPM. ABS, PA-CF and TPU are quoted by a person.

Shipping Costs and Lead Times by Volume
Domestic shipping is a flat $7.95 per order, shown before you pay. No customs, no import fees. Very heavy orders over 50 lb get a freight quote. Expedited production is a request. A person emails you a price and a date before anything starts.
Standard orders ship in 3 to 5 business days. That covers samples and most orders you place online. A big production run takes longer to make, so we give you a firm schedule when we review the job. You see that date before you pay. See production runs for the volume tiers.

How to Lower Your Per-Unit Cost
Four moves drop per-unit cost without dropping quality. Move to a higher volume tier when you can. Pick PETG instead of PA-CF when strength is not the issue. Hollow the part where the design allows. Avoid finishing steps your buyer does not need.
We will flag these on your quote if they apply. If a smaller change to the part saves twenty percent on cost, we tell you.

Common questions
- How much does 3D printing cost?
- 3D printing cost depends mostly on the size of the part, the material, and the quantity. Small parts often run a few dollars to low double digits each. Upload your STL to see the exact per-part price for your design.
- Does the price drop at higher quantity?
- Yes, the per-part price drops as your volume rises. We show a flat per-part figure at each tier, so 50 parts cost less per part than one, and a run of 1,000 costs less per part again.
- Do you charge per gram?
- No, we show a single flat per-part price, not a price per gram. The number you see is the number you pay, with no surprise math and no reprice after you order.
