Batch work changes the price model
Setup time can be spread over multiple parts, but machine time, material and failure risk still scale. A batch table helps show total revenue and unit price together.
3D print farm pricing calculator
Print-farm work needs unit economics, not just one-off pricing. 3D Price helps compare batch quantities, unit prices, labor, machine occupancy and margin before you accept repeat work.
Inputs
Setup time can be spread over multiple parts, but machine time, material and failure risk still scale. A batch table helps show total revenue and unit price together.
A repeat order can block machines that could serve better jobs. Include machine wear and print hours so the quote reflects production capacity, not only material.
Material and printer presets make recurring jobs faster to quote. Review them regularly as filament, electricity and maintenance costs change.
FAQ
Use unit material, print time, machine wear, labor, failure risk and margin, then compare batch quantities.
Often yes. Setup labor can be divided across units, while material and print time usually scale per part.
No. It is a pricing calculator, not a full print-farm scheduler.
