QUOTE BUILDER

This is a volume-based estimator, not a slicer. A slicer computes wall paths, infill, supports and travel moves — material used is not proportional to volume, and print time follows path length, not volume at all. So the result is a band built from your part's stated volume and stated assumptions, and the team runs the real file before anything prints.

Carbon- and glass-fibre reinforced versions of most families are available. Reinforced stock is priced on review — it doesn't move this estimate.

A sinterable stainless steel filament also exists — a specialist process with shrinkage to account for. It routes to the team, not the estimator; mention it in the notes.

INFILL

20%

10% — SPARSE100% — SOLID

Infill is how solid the inside of the part is printed — 20% means a sparse internal lattice, 100% means solid plastic. It's the single biggest lever on both cost and strength, so it's your call, not our constant. 20% is fine for most brackets and enclosures.

QUANTITY

No minimum order — one part is a job we'll take. Per-part price × quantity; past a certain quantity, injection moulding is the better answer and the team will say so rather than take the job.

TOLERANCE

AGREED PER JOB

As printed — standard FDMFine when nothing has to press-fit.Critical fits — call them outWhich surfaces, what fit, what they mate with.

Tolerance varies by material and geometry, and shrinkage differs between plastics, so it's agreed per job rather than published as one number. This doesn't move the estimate — it moves the review.

NOTES — WHAT THE PART DOES, ANYTHING THE ESTIMATOR CAN'T SEE

ESTIMATE ONLY — NOT A PRICE. FINAL PRICING IS CONFIRMED BY OUR TEAM BEFORE ANYTHING IS PRINTED.

Submitting uploads the file and sends the estimate readout to the team; CDD responds within two business days. Or walk away — until you press this, nothing has left your machine.

WHAT WE RUN

We run a Fusion3 EDGE in Sonora, Texas and take outside print work. Industrial FDM — engineering plastics, not hobby prints. Prototypes, replacement parts, short production runs, brackets and enclosures.

We use the machine daily to build our own hardware, so these are materials we actually know how to run rather than ones we'll experiment with on your part.
