How to Get a 3D Printing Quote? Step-by-Step Online Order Guide

Many people getting their first 3D print have the same questions in mind: “How do I get a 3D printing quote? How is the price determined? Which material should I choose?” In this guide, we walk you through the 3D printing order process step by step and lay out everything you need to know.

Step 1: Prepare Your 3D Model

The 3D printing process begins with a digital 3D model. You can design the model yourself (with software like Fusion 360, Blender, or Tinkercad), use a ready-made STL file (from platforms such as Thingiverse, Printables, or Cults3D), or have an existing part 3D scanned. Don’t worry if you don’t have a model — our team can also create one from photographs.

Step 2: Choose Material and Color

Choosing the right material for your part’s intended use is critical. Here are the most common options:

• PLA / PLA+: Indoor decoration, prototypes, toys, educational models.
• PETG: Impact-resistant parts, automotive interior components, drone parts, outdoor use.
• TPU: Flexible parts, gaskets, bumpers, drone landing gear.
• ABS/ASA: High-temperature resistance, automotive parts, outdoor use (ASA in particular is UV-resistant).
• Carbon fiber / Nylon / PC: Engineering parts, mechanical components requiring high strength.

If you’re not sure which material suits you, you can compare the prices of all materials in our per-gram 3D printing price list and find the option that best fits your needs.

Step 3: Get an Online Quote

Now for the easiest part. Upload your STL file or enter the weight into our 3D printing price calculator, choose your material, and see your estimated price within seconds. Our pricing is completely transparent and is based on weight per gram.

• No prepayment required up to 25 grams: Small parts go into production without upfront payment; after printing we show you photos and video, and once you approve, you pay and the part ships.

• Tiered discounts: 2% off over 2,500 TL, 4% off over 5,000 TL, and 8% off over 10,000 TL.
• Shipping: Free shipping on orders of 2,000 TL and above.
