Choose the best technology for your use case and get an instant quote.

FDM

Fused Deposition Modeling

The most common and cost-effective solution. Ideal for prototyping with durable thermoplastics like PLA, ABS, and PETG.

SLA

Stereolithography

Ultra-high detail and smooth surface finish. Perfect precision for jewelry, dental, and miniature models.

SLS

Selective Laser Sintering

Industrial-grade production with no support structures. Nylon-based solutions for functional parts and complex geometries.

Behind the Scenes

Model Journey: From Upload to Exact Quote

Discover how our smart calculation engine processes your 3D models step-by-step behind the scenes in milliseconds.

1. 3D Model Analysis

The moment you upload your file, our engine reads its raw structure and digitally reconstructs the model in memory. It immediately measures exact dimensions, volume, surface area, and checks for potential file integrity errors.

STAGE 01READY

2. Smart Orientation

The engine dynamically rotates the model in 3D space to find the absolute best printing angle. This step optimizes bed stability and reduces unnecessary support material to save time and cost.

STAGE 02OPTIMIZED

3. Precision Slicing

We virtually slice your model into hundreds of micro-layers. This allows the engine to accurately trace outer walls, calculate internal hollow spaces, and assess complex features that affect print speed.

STAGE 03DETAILED

4. Advanced Stability & Support

Using advanced geometry algorithms, the engine plans where supports are required and calculates material-specific stability. High-shrinkage materials like ABS automatically receive calibrated bed adhesion settings to prevent warping.

STAGE 04SECURE

5. Real-Time Production Simulation

By simulating real print head acceleration and plastic flow speed, our engine calculates the final print time, material weight, and overall energy cost with extreme accuracy to generate your final price.

How it Works?

Quote3D's REST API makes it easy to generate quotes on the fly

STEP 01

Get Upload ID

Get an upload ID for the file upload process. This ID is required for uploading files and is valid for 1 hour.

STEP 02

Upload Your File

Upload your 3D model using the upload ID you received. Our system accepts STL, 3MF, and OBJ files and returns a unique file ID along with upload confirmation details.

STEP 03

Request a Quote

With the file ID, either provide a predefined Printer ID (printer_id) or configure manual printer (printer_config) and material (material_config) settings to get millimeter-accurate cost and time estimates. The process runs asynchronously and returns a job ID.

STEP 04

Get Results

Check the status of your quote calculation using the job ID. When the process is completed, retrieve the results containing detailed quote information.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to your questions about Quote3D here.

Quote3D is a powerful REST API that provides instant 3D printing quotes and analysis for your 3D models. It helps automate pricing processes for your business.

We currently support STL, 3MF, and OBJ file formats. Our advanced engine analyzes these files in seconds.

Pricing is dynamically calculated based on model volume, selected material type, print time, model complexity, and your chosen printer profile parameters.

After signing up, you can generate an API token on the dashboard and integrate it in minutes using the examples in our comprehensive documentation.

Yes, with our free plan, you can get 25 quotes per month and explore our API features.

Yes! In addition to FDM, we provide dedicated pricing and analysis support for industrial-grade SLA (Resin) and SLS (Powder) technologies.

Our analysis engine calculates your model's dimensions as soon as you upload it and immediately informs you if it fits within the chosen printer's build volume.
