Why calculate?

3D printing is profitable โ€” if you know the math

Most makers underestimate the real cost. We show you every cent.

Energy included

Many people forget the electricity bill. Our calculators add the power consumption of each print.

Wear and maintenance

Nozzles, FEP, plates and parts wear out. We spread that cost per print hour.

Markup and margin

Set your markup on cost and instantly see the real margin on the selling price. They are different things โ€” we show both.
