How Much Does 3D Printing Cost in London?
The honest answer is: it depends on the part. Here's exactly what affects the price — and how to get an accurate quote quickly.
What affects the price
Dimensions
Larger parts use more material and machine time, and may need a larger printer or splitting into sections.
Material
Engineering resins and specialist filaments cost more than standard materials.
Volume
The actual volume of material in the part — solid parts cost more than hollowed or lightly infilled ones.
Printing technology
Resin, FDM and full-colour printing each have different running costs and strengths.
Print time
Tall parts and very fine layer heights take longer on the machine.
Support requirements
Overhangs need supports, which add material and removal time.
Post-processing
Support removal, washing, curing and cleanup are part of every job.
Quantity
Per-part cost typically falls as parts are nested together and setup is shared across a batch.
Finishing
Sanding, priming or other finishing adds labour time.
Delivery
Packaging and courier service level affect the final price.
Worked examples
These illustrate which variables matter most for common jobs. They're not fixed prices — your quote is based on your actual file.
A single small resin figure
Low material volume, but support removal and curing time dominate. Adding more copies to the same print run usually reduces the per-unit price.
A large FDM enclosure
Size and print time are the main drivers. Wall thickness, infill and orientation can be tuned to bring cost down without compromising the part.
A batch of 200 identical parts
Setup is shared across the run, so per-part cost is lower than for a one-off. How many fit per build plate strongly affects the price.
Pricing FAQs
Do you have a price list?
No universal price list — every part is different. We quote each job based on the file and your requirements, so the price reflects your actual part.
How can I reduce the cost of my print?
Hollowing solid parts, reducing size where possible, choosing a standard material and ordering in batches all help. We'll suggest savings when we quote.
Is there a minimum order charge?
Send us your file and we'll confirm pricing for your specific order, including any minimums.
