Understanding Our 3D Printing Process and What Influences Your Quote

At Mesh3D Up, we leverage 3D printing technology to turn your digital designs into tangible realities. We believe in transparency and want you to understand the different aspects that contribute to the final cost of your custom 3D printed products. This may help you to understand the process and work that goes into each unique creation.

What Goes Into the Price of Your 3D Print?

  • The Material (Filament): The foundation of any 3D print is the material used. We primarily work with various types of plastic filaments, each possessing different characteristics in terms of strength, flexibility, heat resistance, and appearance. Just like any raw material, different types of filaments have varying costs depending on their properties and manufacturing processes.

  • Time is Key: 3D printing is an additive process, meaning objects are built layer by layer. This can take a significant amount of time, ranging from minutes to many hours, depending on the size and complexity of the design. The duration of the print directly influences the overall cost.

  • The Complexity of Your Vision: The intricacy of your design plays a crucial role in the printing process. More complex models often require the generation of support structures to ensure successful printing. These supports need to be carefully removed after printing, which takes additional time and skill. Furthermore, highly detailed designs may require slower print speeds and finer settings, increasing the overall print time.

  • Beyond Single Color: The Art of Multicolor Printing: Bringing your designs to life in multiple colors is possible! However, this process involves pausing the print to change the filament for each color. Each color change introduces a small amount of material waste as the old filament is purged before the new color starts printing. This added complexity and material usage are factors in the cost of multicolor prints.

  • Specialized Materials for Unique Needs: We offer a range of specialized filaments beyond our standard options. These might include filaments reinforced with materials like carbon fiber for increased strength, flexible filaments like TPU for rubber-like properties, or other engineering-grade plastics with specific resistances. These specialized materials often have a higher cost due to their unique compositions and manufacturing processes. While we keep a stock of popular filaments like PLA, PETG, and ASA readily available, please note that some specialized materials may require a short lead time for us to acquire them for your project. We will always confirm material availability during your quote request and keep our website updated.
