3D Print Client Quote & Run Planner

All calculators / Standalone capacity planner

Quote a larger print run, check your available printers, and prepare a client-ready estimate.

Start with one part design and identical printers. Use full-plate totals from your slicer. Your internal costs stay separate from the client quote.

How the run is planned

Whole plates = round up(parts / parts per plate). Planned plates = round up(whole plates / (1 - failure rate)). Material and printing costs use every planned full plate, including a partly filled final plate. Suggested price covers those costs, labor, fixed fees, percentage fees and your target margin.

Printer cycle includes print time plus unload/restart time. Capacity uses scheduled hours and usable capacity, with whole cycles. Lead time conservatively adds all hands-on labor after printing, then your buffer. Some labor can overlap in practice. Failed plates are a planning allowance, not a delivery guarantee. No overnight calendar, weekends, existing orders, printer differences or stock reservations are inferred.

Example: 100 parts

At 4 parts per plate and 10% failed plates, plan 28 plates. With 6 hours printing plus 5 minutes turnaround, that is 170.33 cycle hours. Three printers at 12 hours/day and 85% usable capacity need 5.96 printing days, plus 0.77 labor days and a 1-day buffer: about 7.73 days.

Can I quote multiple designs?

This first version handles one design per quote. Calculate different designs separately. Do not assign the same printers or labor hours to simultaneous runs without reducing their availability.

What about tax and shipping?

Enter your own amounts. Tax applies only to the parts subtotal; shipping is added afterward. Shipping costs, tax on shipping, deposits and regional tax rules are not calculated. Shipping is passed through and excluded from the internal profit calculation.
