How much does a 3D printed model cost?

by xiaolong luo cnc machining shop
3D printing is becoming more and more popular, 3D printed prototypes, 3D printed hands, 3D printed education, 3D printed medical equipment, 3D printed parts or small objects of your own design. If you want to print, you can quickly print a sheet through 3D printing. Here comes the 3D printed model. Many people ask, how much is a 3D printed model? Are 3D printers expensive?3D printing parts

Charge per gram

The cost of 3D printing is grams, and the price of different materials varies. The same material will have domestic and imported accuracy and poor accuracy, so even the same price will vary. Metal is definitely more expensive than plastic. For example, the cheapest SLA photosensitive resin material in electronic key printing is 2.4 yuan / gram, and it will be cheaper to participate in group purchases. The photosensitive resin SLA-2 (photosensitive resin 8000) is more expensive than SLA-1 (photosensitive resin 14120).

Under the same 3D perspective, some people may wonder why the weight of different materials is different after the PTJ Shop quote system. It is stated here that the gram number is the volume times the density. Despite the same volume, different materials have different densities, so the final number of grams will be different.

Special film

Special parts will not be charged directly based on grams. The special part can be divided into four cases.

1. Hollow part: because when printing, you need to support the hollow area to print. If supported, the model will not deform. At the same time, the volume of the hollowed out parts is relatively large, and the printer takes up a large area of ​​the printer. The automatic quote system of the electronic key printing platform does not calculate the weight of the support. At the same time, the blanks are printed and the internal support needs to be removed manually, which requires labor costs.

2, the volume of parts: 3D printer is a fixed size, generally 3D printing services opportunities to put a lot of models to print at the same time, and because the volume of the volume accounts for a large volume, so there is no way to print other models at the same time, Printing at the same time in the same printing time, the number of printed models is small, and the printing cost is high.

3, the single piece is less than 4g: such models are generally large in number and small in size, and will print more when printing such models to avoid loss or damage when the machine is turned off. At the same time, post-processing of models smaller than 4g is very time-consuming, so the labor cost is high.

4. Fully transparent parts: Fully transparent parts need to be polished in the later stage, and the transparent effect after polishing is better. Simple models are easy to polish, and the structure of the model is more complicated. Polishing is more difficult, requires more time, and increases labor costs. Online quotes cannot calculate the labor cost of the model structure. Therefore, a model like the one below is not easily polished. So when the model is more complicated, the quote will be combined with offline manual quote.

In this case, Print Customer Service will contact you after you upload the quote and resend your manual quote. If you don't understand, you can always consult online customer service.

Starting price

The starting price is also called the startup fee. 3D printing starts at the same price as other products. Since printing involves some fixed costs (machine loss, power, labor, etc.), a fixed printing fee is started to be charged, so there is a start. price.

When your model is below the starting price, a printing fee will be charged based on the starting price. However, when you have multiple models, you can use a combined starting price function. Multiple models are uploaded with the same material and are only added to the cart. A start-up price, that is, a start-up fee, a consolidated settlement fee, and a saved start-up fee. For more information, see "Electronic Key Print Consolidation Start Price Description".

Printing In Home

Many people buy entry-level desktop 3D printing devices and print them at home. The cost can be calculated by yourself, machine cost and material cost. Desktop-grade PLA is not expensive, and dozens of dollars can print many models on a roll. Industrial 3D printers are expensive, and a machine requires millions of devices. Of course, you will not buy some models yourself.

The above is the price description of the 3D printed model. If you don't know, you can log in to Cloud Factory 3D Printing Online Customer Service. If you want to know how much your model can print, you can upload the quote system directly to print the quote. 1 minute quote and you will know the price immediately. If you don't have a 3D perspective, you can estimate the price by multiplying the weight of the model.
