Jinsi ya kukokotoa 3D Printing Cost

3D Printing Cost ni nini?

3D printing cost depends primarily on filament used, print time (electricity), and post-processing. FDM is the most common consumer method using thermoplastic filaments like PLA, PETG, or ABS.

Fomula

Filament cost = Weight used (g) x Cost per kg / 1000

Mwongozo wa Hatua kwa Hatua

  1. 1Filament cost = Weight used (g) x Cost per kg / 1000
  2. 2Electricity cost = Print time (h) x Printer wattage (kW) x Rate ($/kWh)
  3. 3PLA: approx $20-25/kg; PETG: $25-35/kg; ABS: $25-30/kg; TPU: $30-50/kg

Mifano Iliyotatuliwa

Ingizo
50g print, 3 hours, $25/kg filament, $0.25/kWh
Matokeo
Filament: $1.25, electricity: approx $0.15, total: approx $1.40 per print
