Use a consistent quoting checklist

Start by checking the file and material. Estimate or import print time. Add setup, cleanup and post-processing. Include risk, packaging, fees and margin before sending the quote.

  • Confirm material, color and finish level.
  • Use slicer time or G-code metadata where possible.
  • Add active labor for preparation and cleanup.
  • Add margin and a minimum order price.
  • Send a clear quote before printing.

Separate price guidance from invoicing

3D Price helps calculate and export quote data. Your official invoice, tax handling and customer contract still belong in the invoicing workflow you choose.

Improve pricing from real jobs

After a few orders, adjust presets for actual electricity, wear, failure rate and labor. Better assumptions make future quotes faster and more profitable.
