Pricing and Payment Options

Pricing

Interested in learning about pricing? While Protolabs has a standard pricing structure, cost varies for each service line and on individual projects based on a few key factors. 

Injection Molding

Prices start around $1,495, depending on part geometry and complexity. The best way to estimate cost is to upload your model to our website to receive an interactive quote within hours. Protolabs can create your mold at a fraction of the price of traditional injection molding because of our proprietary analysis software, automated processes, and use of aluminum molds.

CNC Machining

Prices start around $65, but the best way to estimate cost is to submit a 3D CAD model and get an interactive quote. Because we use proprietary software and automated fixturing processes, there are no upfront non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs. This makes purchasing quantities as low as 1 to 200 parts cost-effective. Prices compared to 3D printing are comparable to somewhat higher, but machining offers improved material properties and surfaces.

3D Printing

Prices start around $95, but the best way to estimate costs is to submit a 3D CAD model to get an interactive quote. Prices vary based on part size, material, additive technology, complexity, and order quantity.

Sheet Metal Fabrication

Prices vary but can start around $125, depending on part geometry and complexity. The best way to estimate your cost is to upload your model to our website to receive a free quote within hours.
