Which industry are you printing for?

This tailors the part types and default assumptions we'll show you next.

Choose your Formlabs printer

SLA printers suit fine detail and tooling; SLS suits functional, end-use production runs.

What are you producing?

Available part types depend on the printer you selected.

Tell us your production volume

We'll use these to calculate your daily cost and labor requirement.

What a vendor / job-shop currently charges you per part.
Technician wage + overhead. Default is a typical India shop-floor rate.

How this calculator works

The same logic engineers use to build a production business case — simplified into four inputs.

Find the right printer for your part

Every printer below is sold, installed, and serviced by Corengg across South India.

Form 4

High-speed resin printing for prototypes, tooling & molds.

Form 4L

Large-format SLA for bigger parts or higher batch volumes.

Fuse 1+ 30W

Nylon powder printing for strong, functional end-use parts.

Fuse X1

Industrial SLS for high-throughput production runs.

What outsourcing is actually costing you

Cost per part is only half the story.

Lead time, not just cost

A vendor quote of 3–5 days becomes same-day iteration. Design changes that used to cost a week now cost an afternoon.

Design freedom

No vendor minimums or tooling charges holding back late-stage design changes — print revision 12 as easily as revision 1.

Data stays in-house

Proprietary geometry and tooling designs never leave your building — important for defence, medical, and automotive clients.

Faq background
Common questions

Before you calculate

  • How accurate is this estimate?
    It uses typical build times, yields, and material costs for each printer and part type. It is a planning tool, not a quotation — actual figures depend on your specific part geometry and finish requirements.
  • What currency and rates are used?
    All figures are shown in Indian Rupees (₹), using Corengg-supplied material pricing and printer costs indicative for the Indian market. Contact us for current, GST-inclusive pricing.
  • Does this include the printer purchase cost?
    The payback period estimate does account for indicative printer pricing. Cost-per-part and daily savings figures reflect ongoing material and labor cost only.
  • Can Corengg calculate this for my exact part?
    Yes — send your CAD file or a photo/drawing through the form below and our applications team will return a precise cost-per-part and payback analysis within 24 hours.
