Pricing

We calculate prices by the weight of the final product, ensuring that any wasted material—and the risk that comes with it—is on us, not on you.

Why do we price like this?

3D printing can sometimes come with its challenges. At KM Studio, we’ve built up the knowledge and experience to minimise these risks and handle them efficiently. By calculating prices based on weight, we can ensure fairness and transparency, while also covering the costs of wasted material if a part fails. This approach allows us to guarantee consistent quality and reliability for every project, without hidden costs or unpleasant surprises.

We have several additive manufacturing technologies at our disposal, including the ones listed below.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM)

FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) is one of the most widely used 3D printing technologies. In FDM, a thermoplastic filament is heated to its melting point and deposited layer by layer through a nozzle to build a physical object. It is popular due to its accessibility, speed, and cost-effectiveness. FDM is ideal for functional prototypes, concept models, and some end-use parts, especially when strength and dimensional accuracy are important.

Key features:

Relatively affordable and accessible

Layer-by-layer deposition of melted filament

Wide range of materials: PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, and engineering plastics

Suitable for prototypes and functional parts

Selective laser sintering (SLS)

SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) is an advanced 3D printing technology that uses a high-powered laser to fuse powdered materials layer by layer into a solid part. Unlike FDM, SLS does not require support structures, allowing for complex geometries and intricate designs. It is widely used for functional prototypes, small production runs, and end-use parts that require high strength, durability, and precision.

Key features:

Produces strong, durable, and high-precision parts

Layer-by-layer sintering of powdered material using a laser

Supports complex geometries without additional support structures

Compatible with a variety of materials, including nylon and composite powders

StereoLithography (SLA)

SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus) is a 3D printing technology that uses a laser to cure liquid photopolymer resin layer by layer into a solid object. SLA is known for its high resolution and smooth surface finish, making it ideal for detailed prototypes, concept models, and parts with fine features. It is widely used in industries like jewelry, dental, and engineering for parts that require precision and intricate details.

Key features:

Suitable for applications requiring precision, such as dental, jewelry, and engineering

Laser-based curing of liquid resin layer by layer

Produces high-resolution parts with smooth surfaces

Ideal for detailed prototypes and intricate designs
