Manual project quote

Our instant quote covers standard, print-ready STL files. For everything else — casting, complex finishing, tricky geometry or other file formats — send us the project and we'll price it by hand, usually within one working day.

When to use a manual quote

  • Castable wax patterns, casting and jewellery work
  • Transparent, thin-walled or fragile parts
  • Multi-part, assembled or moving pieces
  • Presentation finishing, painting or polishing
  • Non-STL files (OBJ, 3MF, STEP, ZIP) or large models
  • Rush deadlines, or files you're unsure are printable

What to include

  • Service needed (resin / FDM / castable wax + casting / finishing)
  • Material preference, if any
  • Quantity
  • Final size / scale and units
  • Finish required
  • Deadline
  • Delivery or London pickup
  • Is the file print-ready? (yes / no / not sure)

The “Email your project” button opens a ready-made template — just fill it in and attach your file.

Prefer email directly? Write to 3dlab@dfff.studio and attach your file. We'll confirm scope, price and lead time before any work starts.
