3D printed designs will generally take from 1 to 2 weeks to be made.
Once you have placed your order, it goes into a priority queue. When it reaches the top of the queue it will be made and shipped.
Shipping time will then depend on your location, but usually takes between one day and one week.
Laser cut designs will generally take from 1 to 2 weeks to be made and shipped to you. When you place your order it goes into a priority queue, and once it reaches the top of the queue it will be made and shipped.
The cost of your 3D printed design is determined by the overall dimensions and volume of material used in your design, and the 3D material type you’ve chosen to print it with.
Both overall dimensions (making cost) and volume (material cost) are measured in cubic centimeters (cc). These costs are different for each 3D material type.
Once you have uploaded a design and chosen a material, you’ll get an instant price for how much it will cost to make it. If you need to, you can then go back and refine your designs and upload them again.
We cannot give you a quote to make your design until you have exported your STL file from 123D and uploaded it.
The cost of your laser-cut design is determined by the time it takes to create your design plus the cost of your sheet of material.
The laser cuts materials at a range of speeds and as a rule it takes longer to cut thicker materials. The laser is also faster at cutting straight lines than it is at cutting curves. As a general rule of thumb, the more lines your design has, the more it will cost to make.

Currently we offer the following types of materials.
