Questions

Straight answers.

How much does filament cost per gram?

Every material is priced in the open, per gram: PLA from $0.09/g, PETG from $0.11/g, ABS and ASA from $0.13/g, TPU from $0.18/g, and composites from $0.28/g. Makers ordering 20 or more parts pay the maker rate, which is lower on every line.

Which material should I choose?

Choose by environment, not by price. ASA for anything living outdoors under UV and salt. PETG for general functional loads. ABS where heat matters. TPU for gaskets and anything that must flex. Composites (CF/GF) when you need stiffness without weight. If the environment is uncertain, we ask before we print.

What is the difference between the customer rate and the maker rate?

The customer rate is the single-part price. The maker rate applies from 20 parts up — the same material, the same machines, priced for a run instead of a one-off.

Can you print high-temperature materials?

Yes — in-house up to 320 °C, which covers PC, Nylon, and the carbon- and glass-filled composites. Hardened nozzles are standard on abrasive materials.

The right material, quoted before you commit.
