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 — we show both.
