Our original and main pricing structure. This is calculated by multiplying the X,Y and Z dimensions of the STL file to get the number of cubic centimetres for the imaginary box that your part would fit into and generates both an upper and lower price limit for the STL file. This is then multiplied by the Economy or Express XYZ rates to give you a price.
With this pricing structure, you are able to nest as many parts into the same STL file as you like – this can bring your costs right down.
It is easy to calculate the price for your prints using our free app before you have a printable file.
NB – an additional 1mm bounding box is added to the total dimensions to cover the space between the other orders in the printer.
Minimum part costs apply (see below)
Orientation of your parts can massively affect the price too, so be sure to take it into account!

This pricing model is used for larger but lower density parts and only accounts for about 5% of quotes. To calculate the price of parts this way we offset the surface of the model by 3mm and calculate the amount of material taken by this new volume. This is then multiplied by the Economy or Express offset rates to give you a price.
A minimum hole of 50mm is required if hollowing parts.

You cannot nest parts with the offset pricing.

Our low volume pricing estimator shows the point at which injection moulding becomes a more suitable method of production based on the quantity you require and the size of your part. If you’ve previously had a quote for injection moulding, enter the details in the estimator below and see how much additive manufacture can save you in part costs.

Our XYZ price estimator will allow you to work out the cost of your 3D prints through us before you have the CAD data to print from. This will help with budgeting for your project from the start. By simply inputting the X, Y and Z dimensions, you are able to get a guide price for your part(s).

Our Selective Laser Sintering Express lead time is where your order joins the front of the queue. The lead time is normally 2-4 working days before dispatch. 95% of orders are ready in 2 working days, however we state 2-4 to cover any issues during printing or post processing.

Please also note that if you require Polishing, Dyeing or Shotpeening finishing processes, it adds a day to the overall turnaround time.

The finish and quality are identical to the Economy Service.

Lead times are not guaranteed, and are only estimates. Orders are not refundable once they are loaded onto the printer.

Price breaks apply

Our Selective Laser Sintering Economy lead time is where your order joins the back of the queue. The lead time is normally 7-12 working days before dispatch. As with the Express service, if you require Polishing, Dyeing or Shotpeening finishing processes it adds a day to the overall turnaround time.

The finish and quality are identical to the Express Service.

Lead times are not guaranteed, and are only estimates. Orders are not refundable once they are loaded onto the printer.

Not currently available on EXPRESS.

Please note that we do not offer an Express service with this material.

We only offer our SLS Flexible material with an Economy lead time, whereby your order joins the back of the queue for this service. The lead time is normally 7-12 working days before dispatch. If you require your flexible parts to be coloured using our Dyeing service, this can add a day to the overall turnaround time.

Lead times are not guaranteed, and are only estimates. Orders are not refundable once they are loaded onto the printer.

Our Multi Jet Fusion (MJF) Express service is charged via our offset pricing with a dynamic sparsity-based lower limit XYZ bounding box volume.

Our MJF Express lead time is where your order joins the front of the queue. The lead time is normally 2-4 working days before dispatch. 95% of orders are ready in 2 working days, however we state 2-4 to cover any issues during print or post processing.

Please also note that if you require Polishing, Dyeing or Shotpeening finishing processes, it adds a day to the overall turnaround time.

Our vibro polishing service is optional and offered free of charge, but please be aware that it can add a day onto the lead time for your part(s).
More info about polishing can be found here.

Our dyeing service is additional ontop of the part cost. Black parts are charged at a flat 10% extra and colours have a small set up fee per colout per order as well as a 5% surcharge per part. More information can be found here.

We specialise in production runs here and offer price breaks on batch production. These include a reducing minimum part cost as well as an increasing percentage discount per unit. For up to date price breaks please see the Price Breaks below.
The discounts can be seen on our production runs page as well as a handy interactive graph where you can compare your injection moulding costs with our additive manufacturing prices.

Production Run Samples

We recommend that you print a test sample before going ahead with your full production run. These usually fall way under our minimum print order. If you are happy with that test sample and you order a production run over £500, we will refund the price of your test print that fell under our minimum order. This means that your test samples will be free of charge.

Our innovative pricing structure integrates more aggressive price breaks than ever before, and ensures you get the very best value for money from whether you select the express or the economy service.

Price breaks can be given in three different ways. Please note that they work independently from each other and cannot be combined, however, our quoting tool will automatically default to the cheapest one.
Value price breaks – discounts given to the total value of the part
Quantity Price breaks – given to the quantity of the same STL ordered
Minimum part cost – Given to the value of the minimum part cost as the quantity of STL files increases (only applicable if parts are below the minimum part cost)

The Value price breaks are as follows:

The Quantity price breaks are as follows:

The Minimum part cost price breaks are as follows:

NOTE: These discount options are independent of each other and our quote system will automatically default to the cheapest of the three. Minimum part cost discount only applies to parts with an XYZ price that is less than that of the minimum part cost.

Our standard postage rates are as follows:

Economy postage £6 – First Class Recorded

Express postage £12 – Next Day before 1pm Recorded

For orders valued over £1000 – Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded £10 + VAT

For an additional charge we can arrange for (call for more info):

Pre 9am Delivery

Guaranteed Saturday Delivery

All couriers are booked by the client for collection during our working hours only.

We have a minimum order of £40 + vat per order. The minimum order applies to the order as a whole, not per part on the order. This means that if your part(s) come to below the minimum order, you can up the quantities or add more files to make up the difference.

The minimum order does not include shipping.

There is a minimum part cost per part on the STL file. This starts from £1, but drops down to as little as 20p per part depending on the number of parts ordered. The minimum part cost is not an additional charge per body on an STL, rather an average cost per body on an STL file – if the average cost of a body drops below the minimum part cost, the price will default to the minimum part cost x the number of bodies on the STL file. We often have to manually review orders like this due to file quality.

The price drops in accordance with the number of STL files ordered, not the number of parts on an STL file. This means that if you are looking to order a batch of the same items, it is best to upload a single part and up the quantity rather than a single STL file with an array of items on it.
