With the 3D Print Bureau instant quote tool, you can upload your design, select your requirements and receive a price within minutes. It’s a straightforward option when you already know what you need and want to get a quick idea of the cost. For more complex projects, batch production or when you need some guidance, you can also speak directly to our team for a bespoke quotation.

How does the instant quote tool work?

Simply upload your design file, select the available material and manufacturing options for your project, and the tool will generate your quotation.

Instant quotations are currently available for FDM and Powder Bed Fusion (PBF).

For FDM, available materials include ABS-M30, ASA, ABS-ESD7, PC-ABS and Nylon 12. For Powder Bed Fusion, SAF™ PA12 is available.

If you’re unsure which material or process is right for your application, our team can help you work through the options.

Which quoting option is right for your project?

Not sure whether to use our instant quote tool or speak to the team? In this short video, Catherine talks through the two options and explains which route may be more suitable depending on your project requirements.

Watch Catherine explain the two quotation options:

Who is the instant quote tool designed for?

The instant quote tool is ideal if you have a ready-to-print design and know what you need. It can be useful for engineers, designers, product developers and manufacturing teams looking for a quick way to check the cost of producing a part.

Whether you’re developing a prototype, producing a replacement component or looking at a manufacturing aid, you can upload your design and get a quotation without waiting for a manual review.

When is a bespoke quote better?

An instant quote isn’t right for every project. If you’re producing parts in batches, have more complex requirements or need help choosing a suitable material or manufacturing process, speaking to our team is likely to be more useful.

We can discuss your application, technical requirements and production needs before providing a tailored quotation. This is also the preferred route for projects covered by an NDA or involving commercially sensitive design data, where you may need to discuss how your information should be shared.

Which technologies can I get an instant quote for?

The tool currently supports:

FDM
A versatile technology suitable for applications including prototypes, functional components, jigs, fixtures and manufacturing aids. Available materials include ABS-M30, ASA, ABS-ESD7, PC-ABS and Nylon 12.

Powder Bed Fusion
Available through the tool using SAF™ PA12, this process can be used to produce functional polymer parts and more complex geometries.
