Price calculator · 3D printing

A 3D printing price calculator for your own website

SeekMake gives your website a 3D printing price calculator that uses your own rates. Customers upload a STL, OBJ and 3MF file and see a real, orderable price in seconds, not a rough estimate from a generic online calculator.

Generic online 3D printing calculators often price on volume alone and miss what really costs you money: support removal, orientation, build height and finishing. A calculator on your own site should reflect the way your printers and post-processing work. That way the number a customer sees is one you are willing to print for.

How the calculator prices a print

The calculator measures the uploaded file and applies the pricing inputs you control. The result is the same price your team would give.

FAQ

Questions shops ask before switching

Is the price an estimate or a real quote?

It is a real quote based on your rates. The customer can add it to the cart and order it.

What does the calculator take into account?

The inputs you control: material, size or volume, machine time, setup, finishes and quantity breaks.

Can I hide the price for some prints?

Yes. You can send parts outside your rules to a manual quote request instead of showing a price.

Does the calculator change price when the customer picks a different infill or layer height?

If you add infill or layer height as options in the widget, each choice can be priced from your rules, so the price updates when the customer changes it.

Can the calculator add a price for sanding or painting?

Yes. Post-processing and finishes are customizable options, each with its own pricing, so finishing work shows up in the price before the customer orders.

Which files can customers upload?

STL, OBJ and 3MF files. The print is checked and measured automatically when it is uploaded.

How much does SeekMake cost?

There is a free plan to start. Paid plans add more features, lower fees on online orders and priority support.
