What Affects the Cost of a Custom Printed Part?

Quotation reflects the complete manufacturing route, not only the external size or the weight of the finished part.

01

Geometry and machine time

Part volume, height, support needs, orientation, layer strategy and print duration all affect machine use and preparation work.

02

Material and reinforcement

Matrix selection, continuous-fiber type, reinforced regions and fiber-path complexity change material use and process time. More reinforcement is not automatically the most efficient design.

03

Quantity and finishing

One-off setup, inserts, secondary finishing, inspection needs, packaging and destination influence the quotation. Supplying complete requirements helps avoid unnecessary assumptions.
