This page contains a listing of available variables under Materials pricing and sample pricing scripts for different technologies.
For a general overview of how Pricing Scripts work, read Pricing Scripts - General Usage.
Variables for Pricing based on Material
This listing are all variables that are derived from each uploaded 3D model.
Variable | Description |
|---|---|
| Volume of the 3D model in mm3 |
| Area of the 3D model in mm2 |
| Height of the 3D model in mm |
| Width of the 3D model in mm |
| Depth of the 3D model in mm |
| Number of separated shells in 3D model |
| Bounding box volume of the 3D model in mm3 |
| Convex hull volume of the model in mm3 |
| Volume of the solid support structures in mm3 |
| Area of the model connected to support structures in mm2 |
| Quantity of the same geometry in the basket. |

Sample Material Pricing Scripts
This section contains sample scripts based on specific technologies and materials.
These pricing scripts can be copied directly into the platform and the variables can be adjusted according to your specific workflow and pricing.
SLS (PA12)
let maxVolume = 380 * 284 * 380; // dimensions of the printer let materialCost = 60; // euro/kg let density = 1.02; // g/cm^3 let machineRate = 50; // euro/hour let maxPrintTime = 14; // printing time of a full building chamber let margin = 5; // total price is multiplied with margin // Price calculation let material = model.volume * materialCost * density * 0.000001; let time = model.machine_volume * maxPrintTime / maxVolume * machineRate; let price = margin * (material + time);
SLA (Accura ClearVue)
let maxXYSurface = 650 * 750; // dimensions of the printer let materialCost = 120; // euro/kg let density = 1.12; // g/cm^3 let machineRate = 32; // euro/hour let timePerSurface = 0.00001; // h/mm^2 model’s surface let margin = 5; // total price is multiplied with margin // Price calculation let material = (model.volume + support.volume * 0.1) * materialCost * density * 0.000001; let time = model.area * timePerSurface * machineRate; let price = margin * (material + time);
DMLS (Aluminum ALSI10MG)
let materialCost = 180; //euro/kg let density = 4.43; //g/cm^3 let hourlyRate = 35; //euro/hour let scanningSpeed = 3000; //mm/s let laserDiameter = 0.1; //mm let layerHeight = 0.1; //mm let layerPreparationTime = 10; //s let modelInfill = 0.2; // 20% let supportInfill = 0.1; // 10% let factor = 1; // Price calculation let machineTime = factor * ((model.volume + support.volume * supportInfill) / (scanningSpeed * laserDiameter * layerHeight) + layerPreparationTime * model.h / layerHeight / item.quantity) / 3600; let price = hourlyRate * machineTime + density * (model.volume + supportInfill * support.volume) * materialCost / 1000000;
