3D Print Cost is the app designed for makers, labs, and 3D printing professionals who want clear, realistic, and ready-to-send quotes. Create quotes based on your actual job data: filament weight, print hours, printer cost, energy consumption, modeling, post-production, margin, VAT, and quantity of parts. You can configure your printers with cost, lifespan, and wattage, so the calculation takes machine and energy usage into account. You can also manage filaments by brand, material, color, spool weight, and price per kg, keeping material costs under control. With 3D Print Cost, you can: - create and edit quotes - calculate materials, energy, machine, labor, margin, and VAT - manage multiple filaments in the same project - configure printers and consumption - organize your filament storage - generate and share PDF quotes - add your professional information to documents After the trial period, the monthly Premium subscription keeps the main features active: quotes, PDFs, printer management, and filament storage. 3D Print Cost helps you avoid improvised pricing, protect your margin, and present more professional quotes to your customers. You can manage or cancel your subscription from your Apple account settings.
