How much does 3D printing cost in Saudi Arabia?

There is no single price per part. A 3D printing quote is built from a few things you can measure: how much material the part uses, how long it takes to print, and the work to set up and hand over the job. Faabr's instant quote slices your actual file to measure them, so the price reflects your part, not an average.

What goes into the price

• Material. Measured by weight. Bigger and more solid parts use more plastic, and some plastics cost more per kilo. Nylon costs more than PLA, PETG or ABS.
• Print time. Parts are printed layer by layer, so tall parts and fine layers take longer. Machine time is often the largest part of the price.
• Setup and handling. Every print job takes the same basic work: preparing the machine, removing the parts and checking them before they ship.
• Finish. Extra finishing, where it is offered, adds work on top of the print.
• Shipping. Priced by the weight and size of the parcel, and shown before you pay.

What makes a part cost more

• Infill. A solid part (100% infill) uses far more material and time than one at 20%. Most functional parts are strong enough at 20% to 50%.
• Fine layers. 100 μm layers look smoother than 200 μm layers, but the part has twice as many layers and can take nearly twice as long.
• Supports. Overhangs need temporary supports underneath, which use extra material and time.
• Size. Price follows volume, not length. Doubling every dimension of a solid part uses up to eight times the material.

How to bring the price down

• Use 20% infill unless the part carries heavy loads.
• Choose 200 μm layers when surface smoothness does not matter, such as for internal brackets and test fits.
• Thin out or hollow chunky sections that do not carry load.
• Reduce overhangs in your design, for example with chamfers instead of flat ledges.
• Order several parts at once. Setup is shared across parts that print together, so the price per part usually drops with quantity.
• Put parts for the same project in one order, so they ship together.

Small orders

Each part has a minimum price, and an order with a very small parts total may include a small-order fee. Both are shown in your quote before you pay.

Comparing quotes

When you compare prices from different services, check that they use the same material, infill and layer height, and whether shipping is included. A low headline price at 10% infill is not the same part as one printed at 50%.
