How our 3D Print Pricing Works
Our pricing is primarily based on the size and geometry of your part, rather than complexity. We take into account:
FREE sample runs for batch production runs
We continue to offer a free sample run for larger production runs in the form of a refundable test order up to the value of the minimum order.
This works by placing an order with us for your sample, you then receive and check it. If you’re happy, you then place the full order. We then refund your original order up to the value of the minimum order value. This effectively gives you a free sample pre-production.
Pricing Tariffs
These minimum orders apply to the entire order, not per part. If your part(s) fall below this minimum, you can increase quantities or add more files to meet the minimum order requirement. Please note that shipping costs are not included in the minimum order value.

Open a Trade Account for Scheduled Orders
We offer call-off/scheduled orders, which allow you to plan your annual part requirements and delivery schedule. This exclusive feature, available to trade accounts only, lets you maximise discounts while managing production and cash flow efficiently. Find out more information from our trade accounts page.
Quantity Discounts
Benefit from quantity discounts based on the number of times an STL file is ordered per order. These discounts are automatically calculated in your online quote. Price breaks can be given in two 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.
