What affects the price
- Material used
- Estimated machine time
- Quantity and repeatability
- Layer quality / finish
- Priority turnaround
- Delivery or Cardiff collection by prior arrangement
- Supports, file repair or unusual geometry
Pricing
Clear estimates. A personal review.
Material, time, quantity, finish and turnaround combine into one indicative figure.
Automated estimate vs final price
For compatible STL files, the website can inspect the mesh and generate a quick guide using its volume plus your print settings. It is still an estimate rather than a promise: slicing, supports, orientation and manufacturability can change the real cost.
Specialist materials and files needing repair are automatically marked for manual review.
Why not show one fixed “per gram” price?
Two parts with the same weight can take very different amounts of machine time, require different supports or have very different failure risk. The calculator therefore combines material and machine-time components instead of presenting one misleading headline rate.
