What the free calculator includes
It turns your model and settings into a clear cost breakdown and recommended price. The separate guide covers the deeper method and worked examples.
Print time and machine use
Every part's print time, electricity, and machine wear feed into the price. You also see the total machine time for the job.
Labor
The calculation includes preparation for each model, support removal for every part, and finishing the whole job for SLA.
Buffer and earnings
One clear percentage creates room for unexpected costs and your earnings. You can change the default whenever you need.
Minimum job price
A tiny job should not end with a price that cannot cover even talking to the customer. The calculator therefore enforces your adjustable minimum.
FDM and SLA
FDM uses filament and SLA uses resin. Each process has its own material use, print time, supports, and finishing work.
Three simple steps
How to use the calculator

What the calculated price means
The recommended price comes from the costs and rates you enter. Every shop and unusual job may still have additional items.
- Adjust the default prices and rates to match your printer, materials, and experience.
- Include unusual post-processing, packaging, shipping, marketplace fees, or taxes in your labor or other costs.
- Check the model's printability and the customer's actual requirements before sending a binding quote.
Frequently asked questions about 3D printing prices
What does the calculator include in the result?
The calculator adds material, electricity, machine wear, and labor. It then adds your chosen buffer and earnings percentage and checks the minimum price for the whole job.
What do I see after uploading a 3D model?
For every model, you see material use in grams or milliliters and print time per part. The calculator also totals material, machine time, costs, and the recommended price for the whole job.
Can I price multiple models and quantities together?
Yes. Upload several models, set the quantity for each, and the calculator combines them into one job. Preparation is charged once per model, while printing and support work follow the number of parts.
How should I price labor and support removal?
Enter the value of your time. The calculator adds preparation for every model and support-removal time for each part based on the selected difficulty. SLA also includes finishing the whole job.
Can I change the defaults and minimum job price?
Yes. Adjust material price, electricity, machine wear, labor rate, buffer and earnings, and the minimum job price. The settings are saved in this browser for your next calculation.
Is FDM pricing different from SLA pricing?
Yes. FDM uses filament and SLA uses resin. Material and time calculations, printer power, support work, and job finishing differ between the two processes.
Is the calculated price binding?
The calculator produces a recommended price from your inputs. Before issuing a binding quote, account for the model's condition, special requirements, shipping, taxes, and any costs you did not enter.
Can I add a similar calculator to my website?
Yes. Volaryx lets you embed a business calculator on your website. Your customer uploads a model, sees a price based on your settings, and you receive a ready-to-review inquiry.
