What does 3D printing cost?
Published · Updated
The price of a 3D print depends on your specific part, not a fixed rate. This guide explains what drives the cost so you understand the quote, and how to see your price instantly online.
Print time and size
The biggest cost driver is how long the part takes to print, followed by how much material it needs. A larger or more solid part takes longer and uses more material than a small or hollow one.
The hourly rate steps down as the print gets longer, so a long print costs less per machine hour than a short one.

Material and settings
Different materials cost differently. PLA is the cheapest, technical materials such as PA12-CF cost more. Layer height affects time the most: a finer layer height gives a smoother surface but takes longer, a coarser one prints faster and costs less.
Infill is fixed in the quote, so you don't need to know the parameters to get an accurate price. We often also find an orientation that prints cheaper than yours, and the quote then offers it.
Quantity and volume discount
The price per part usually drops with quantity because printing can be planned more efficiently in larger series. You see the unit price change live as you adjust the quantity in the quote.
There is no minimum quantity. Order a single part or a series. The minimum order value is 150 SEK (15 EUR) for the prints, shipping excluded. A smaller order is topped up to that amount at checkout.
Post-processing and shipping
Post-processing, such as sanding or assembly, is not part of the instant price. Email us and we quote it separately. Shipping is added and shown before you pay, no hidden fees.
Everything is made and quality-checked in Sweden, which means short lead times and communication in Swedish or English.

FAQ
- Can you give a fixed price without seeing the model?
- No, the price depends on the part's size, material and quantity. The examples above show roughly where real parts landed. Upload the model and you see your price instantly.
- Why does my part cost more than one that looks similar?
- The price follows print time, not how the part looks. A taller part, a more solid part or one that needs a lot of support takes longer to print, even if it looks the same size in a photo.
- How can I make the part cheaper?
- Choose a coarser layer height, take the cheaper orientation we suggest, order more copies at once, or pick PLA if the part does not need a technical material. We can also suggest adjustments.
- What is the minimum order value?
- 150 SEK (15 EUR) for the prints, shipping excluded. There is no minimum quantity: a smaller order is topped up to the minimum at checkout. With larger quantities the price per part usually drops.
- Is shipping added?
- Yes, shipping is shown separately in the quote. No hidden fees.
