LayerValue: 3D Print Cost

Stop guessing what a 3D print really costs.

LayerValue is a 3D print cost and pricing calculator built for makers, 3D printing businesses, print farms, workshops, and anyone who sells FDM, FFF or resin prints.

Calculate the true cost of every print by bringing the expenses that are easy to overlook into one place: material, electricity, printer wear, depreciation, maintenance, labour, consumables, overhead, failure risk, marketplace fees, tax, and your profit target.

KNOW YOUR TRUE PRINT COST

Filament or resin is only part of the real cost of a 3D print. LayerValue helps you account for the machine, electricity, time, operating costs and business expenses behind every job.

MULTI-MATERIAL & MULTI-COLOR JOBS

Add one or multiple materials or colors to the same print job. Enter the actual amount used and optional waste or purge to get a more realistic material cost.

PRICE FOR PROFIT

Choose your profit target using markup or margin pricing. Add marketplace fees and taxes, then see your true cost, suggested selling price and expected profit in one clear result.

TRACK YOUR PRINTERS

Create and manage multiple printer profiles for your workshop or print farm. Keep purchase price, salvage value, expected lifetime and maintenance assumptions organized, then choose the correct printer for each job.

CALCULATE REAL ELECTRICITY COST

Configure your country, currency and electricity pricing. LayerValue supports detailed electricity settings including flat, tiered and time-of-use rates so power cost can reflect how you actually pay for electricity.

SAVE & REUSE YOUR JOBS

Save calculations with a part or job name and optional customer details. Search and filter your job history, edit saved jobs, duplicate an old job as a new calculation, and mark completed jobs as printed.

Whether you print as a hobby, run a small 3D printing business, manage several printers, or sell custom printed parts, LayerValue helps answer the two questions that matter before every job:

What does this print really cost? What should I charge for it?

LayerValue — Know the cost. Price the print.
