How We Price 3D Printing

For FDM from the part weight in grams times the material rate, plus supports and finishing where needed. For SLA from resin volume in millilitres. A longer deadline, more pieces at once and lower infill reduce the price; supports, fine layers and technical materials raise it.

No. The calculator works out dimensions, weight, print time and lead time from the file geometry. The binding price is confirmed in a quote within 48 hours.

Yes. From 10, 50 and 100 pieces the per-piece price drops because parts are printed together on one plate. Exact bands are stated in the quote.

It depends on the material, the weight of the part, the quantity and the finish. FDM is priced per gram by material, SLA per millilitre of resin. You get the exact price and lead time in a quote within 48 hours.

We do not charge printing by the machine hour. FDM parts are priced per gram of material and SLA per millilitre of resin, because weight and volume reflect the cost better than print time. Only human work is charged by the hour: 3D modelling, design and finishing. The rates are in the tables on this page and the exact price comes in a quote within 48 hours.

OutsideDbox prints from one piece; most prototypes and spare parts are one piece. The minimum order value is stated in the quote and covers print preparation, inspection and packaging. For one small part you therefore pay the minimum order, for several pieces at once it is spread across them.

Handover in Nitra by arrangement is free. The price of Packeta to a pickup point and of a courier to your address is stated in the quote; the courier delivers usually the next working day after completion. Shipping to Czechia and Austria is stated in the quote.

Express cuts the standard lead time roughly in half and is charged as a percentage surcharge on the print price, stated in the quote. It is by arrangement and subject to free printer capacity. We confirm whether your date is realistic before you commit.

OutsideDbox charges modelling by the hour of work. A simple bracket from a photo takes 1 to 2 hours, an electronics enclosure 3 to 6 hours, an assembly jig 4 to 8 hours. You get an estimate of the hours and a price ceiling before we start, which we never exceed without your approval; one revision is included.

Payment is by bank transfer against an invoice with company ID and VAT ID; regular business customers get payment terms, and card is available by arrangement. The price in the quote holds for 30 days unless the brief changes. We deliver to your business address and add part documentation on request.
