• The Last Line of the script must output the final price

General Examples to Understand Pricing Concepts

Constant Pricing

If a fee or part should be priced the same for all users and for all orders, that can be input a single number into the script. Examples might be a fixed processing cost, a handling fee or a fixed price for internal prototyping in your company.

20.50  // default prototyping fee

Using Variables and Mathematical expressions

Each new variable must be defined with the keyword let. Then the variables can be used with normal arithmetic functions.

let a = 10 + 20;   // addition
let b = 30 - 5;    // subtraction
let c = 2 * 5;     // multiplication
let d = 10 / 2;    // division
let e = 10 ** 2    // exponentiation
a + b + c + d + e; // last line contains final price

Pre-defined Variables from Model Analysis

Depending on the algorithm type (Materials, Post-Processing, Order Fees), there are different sets of variables available within the platform. Those variables will fill in use value pulled from the uploaded and analyzed 3D model.

let cost1 = model.volume * 0.0002; // model.volume in cubic mm
let cost2 = model.area * 0.02;     // model.area in square mm
let price = cost1 + cost2;
price;                             // last line contains final price

Providing Conditions & Discounts

In order to offer competitive pricing, especially for larger orders or particular customer groups, the if/else functionality can adjust the price based on specific conditions. Additional support variables are available under User-based Pricing and Conditional Variables.
