This quotation tool is for testing purposes only. The displayed price is calculated using standard profile settings. You can configure your own printer and material profiles on your profile page. You can use our widget integration to add the quotation tool to your own website. For more information, please check our documentation. will assist you.

Advanced 3D Printing Technologies

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

FDM

Fused Deposition Modeling

The most widely used and economical solution. Ideal for rapid prototyping with durable thermoplastics like PLA, ABS, and PETG.

SLA

Stereolithography

Ultra-high detail and smooth surface finishes. Perfect precision for jewelry, dental models, and intricate miniatures.

SLS

Selective Laser Sintering

Best for high-precision, functional production parts. Enables complex geometries without support structures using polymer powders.

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.

STAGE 05CALCULATED
Security

Your models stay yours

Uploaded geometry is your intellectual property. It is protected from the moment it reaches us, and it is never shared, published, or reused.

Protected on arrival

Your file is secured the instant it leaves your browser, and every request that carries it is authenticated.

ON UPLOADSECURED

Stored encrypted

Files are encrypted before they are stored. Whoever holds the storage still holds nothing readable.

IN STORAGEENCRYPTED

Reachable only by you

Your models are never publicly accessible. Every download and every preview is tied to your account.

ON ACCESSPRIVATE

Encrypted storage

Stored files are unreadable without authorization.

Isolated per file

Each file is protected on its own. One never opens another.

No public links

There is no address to guess, crawl, or pass around.

Deleted means deleted

Removing a file clears it from storage, not just from your list.

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.
