Calculate the real cost of any 3D print. In just 5 clicks you will have the price of your part.
Pricing a 3D print should not be a guess. Yet many makers still work out their quotes "by eye", with spreadsheets, generic calculators or simply by copying earlier prices.
The MakerUp Calculator was designed to help you know the real cost of each part and generate professional quotes in a matter of seconds. It automatically calculates every cost involved in a print so you can offer competitive prices without putting your workshop's profitability at risk.
Much more than a filament calculator
The cost of a 3D print does not depend only on the grams of material used.
Every part involves a series of costs that often go unnoticed but have a direct impact on the final profit.
The MakerUp Calculator takes all of these factors into account to give you a far more accurate and professional figure.
Every cost, calculated automatically
The calculator covers aspects such as:
- Filament consumption.
- Material price per kilogram.
- Print time.
- Power consumption.
- Energy cost.
- Printer depreciation.
- Labor.
- Preparation time.
- Post-processing time.
- Packaging and shipping.
- Additional costs.
- Profit margin.
- VAT or other taxes.
That way you get a complete quote without doing any manual math.
Set up your own costs
Every workshop is different.
Producing a part with a home printer does not cost the same as with a professional print farm.
That is why MakerUp lets you fully customize the calculation parameters to match the way you work.
You can configure things like:
- Purchase price of each printer.
- Estimated useful life.
- Electricity cost.
- Hourly labor cost.
- Price of each filament.
- Packaging and shipping costs.
- Additional fixed costs.
Once configured, MakerUp uses these values automatically in all your quotes.
Work out the recommended selling price
Beyond the manufacturing cost, MakerUp helps you set a profitable selling price.
Define the profit margin you want and the platform will automatically calculate the recommended final price.
That way you make sure every print earns a profit and keep a consistent pricing policy for all your clients.
Create professional quotes
With a single click you can generate a complete quote to share with your clients. Each quote can include information such as:
- Project description.
- Material used.
- Quantity.
- Estimated print time.
- Final price.
- Taxes.
- Notes.
- Creation date.
All presented clearly and professionally.
Keep every quote
Every calculation can be stored inside a project.
That lets you retrieve earlier quotes, compare them or reuse them without entering all the data again.
You also get a complete history of every job you have done.
Integrated with the rest of MakerUp
The Calculator does not work in isolation. It is connected to the rest of the platform so you never enter information twice. For example:
- It pulls the filament price straight from your inventory.
- It uses the selected printer to calculate its depreciation.
- It saves the quote inside the matching project.
- It automatically updates material consumption once the print is finished.
- It turns an accepted quote into a project with one click.
The whole workflow stays connected.
Designed for any maker
The Calculator is made both for people who print occasionally and for professional workshops producing dozens of quotes every week. In just 5 clicks you will have the price of your part.
It does not matter whether you print decorative figures, prototypes, functional parts, spare parts or custom products. MakerUp adapts the calculation to your needs so you always know the real manufacturing cost.
Stop losing money on every print
One of the most common mistakes is counting only the cost of the filament.
But print time, printer wear, electricity, job preparation and post-processing are also part of the production cost. With MakerUp you will know exactly how much each part costs to make before accepting an order.
Save time on every quote
Forget opening spreadsheets or repeating calculations by hand. With the MakerUp Calculator you can produce complete quotes in under a minute, reuse earlier setups and keep a consistent pricing structure for all your clients.
Why use the MakerUp Calculator?
Because knowing the real cost of a print is the foundation of a profitable business.
The MakerUp Calculator helps you price accurately, create professional quotes, save time and make better decisions so you can focus on what matters most: creating, selling and growing your 3D printing workshop.
