Custom 3D Printing: Cost and Services

Custom 3D printing: price, file, material and lead time

3DLarge offers custom 3D printing in Sofia for prototypes, 3D figures, spare parts, holders, cases, models, functional tests and small production runs. We can also help when you have an idea but the file is not yet ready for printing.

The price depends on the technology, material, size, printing time, layer height, post-processing and number of parts. The fastest way is to send an STL, 3MF, OBJ or STEP file, a photo with dimensions or a short description.

FDM is practical for larger and functional parts from PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS/ASA and engineering filaments.
LCD/SLA is suitable for high detail, miniatures, models and visual prototypes.
SLS is a strong choice for complex functional parts when geometry and strength are more important than low unit cost.

Frequently asked questions

How much does custom 3D printing cost?

The price is calculated according to material, technology, size, printing time, complexity and quantity. Send a file or photo with dimensions for a real estimate.

Can you make 3D shapes?

Yes, if a 3D model is available or can be prepared. For figures and visual models, the technology is chosen according to size, detail and the desired finish.

What file is needed?

Most often we work with STL, 3MF, OBJ or STEP. If the file is not ready for printing, it may need to be checked, corrected or prepared.

3D printer services: when to order a part and when to buy a printer

If you need a single prototype, 3D figure, mockup, spare part or small production runs, Custom 3D printing is usually the faster and cheaper start than buying a machine. If you will be printing often, with repeatable materials and clear settings, then it makes sense to compare 3D printers and supplies.

For a real price we need a file or a clear task. The estimate depends on size, material, technology, layer, density, number of parts, post-processing and time, so we do not fix a universal price without seeing the model.

For FDM parts, compare materials in 3D printer filaments.
For detailed figures, miniatures and smooth visual models, resin is often more suitable: 3D printing resins and LCD 3D printers.
If you're considering your own machine, start with 3D printers and management how 3D printing works.

What is 3D printing and why choose 3DLarge?

3D printing (also known as additive manufacturing) is a technology for creating three-dimensional objects by superimposing material layer by layer on a base, against a digital model. In simple terms - we take your 3D model and "print" it into a physical object. This process allows the fabrication of extremely complex shapes that would be difficult to achieve with traditional methods, and turns almost any idea into a real product. From prototypes and engineering parts to designer products and even medical implants – 3D printing opens up endless possibilities.

Our team offers professional 3D printer services with a helpful, expert approach and expert knowledge. We have modern equipment and years of experience that allow us to create high-quality parts with precision down to tens of microns. As leaders in the industry, we strive to ensure maximum quality and satisfaction for our customers - we use high quality materials and technologies, we offer individual consultation and assistance at every step. If you are looking for reliable 3D printing services with excellent results, with us you will get some of the best quality parts at the best price.

Choice of technology and material – We will help you choose the optimal method and material according to your needs – FDM, SLA, SLS etc.
Get an offer – We determine the price based on material, complexity and printing time.
Production and processing – Precision printing, post-processing as needed (polishing, painting, assembly).
Delivery – Fast and secure nationwide delivery or collection in person.

Materials and technologies for 3D printing

One of the strengths of our service is the wide selection of 3D printing technologies and various materials. We have different types of 3D printers – from desktop FDM machines to industrial printers – which allows us to select the most suitable technology for each project. Here is a brief description of the main technologies and materials we work with:

FDM (Fused Deposition Modelling) – Ideal for rapid prototyping and robust parts with thermoplastic filaments: PLA, ABS, PETG, TPU, Nylon.
SLA/DLP (Resin Printing) – Highly detailed models with smooth surfaces. Suitable for jewellery, dentistry, miniatures and design projects.
SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) – Powder technology for extremely strong and parts resistant to mechanical loads from PA12, TPU and other industrial materials.

(Note: For specific projects we can also offer other technologies such as MultiJet/PolyJet printing or direct metal printing (DMLS/SLM) through our partners. Such cases are considered individually.)

The most commonly used materials in 3D printing generally are PLA, PETG and ABS, but the choice doesn't end there. We offer wide array of filaments with different colours, properties and thicknesses – from flexible and transparent to impact-resistant or heat-resistant. You can always order a trial print with a new material if you want to test its qualities. Our specialists will recommend the optimal material according to the goals of the project - whether you are looking for strength, elasticity, temperature resistance or just beautiful visualization.

In summary, the combination of modern 3D technologies and variety of materials allows us to take on projects of any nature. Whether you need a single plastic part, a jeweler's precision part or a small production runs of industrial prototypes, we have the technology and experience to make it happen.

Applications of the 3D printing service

3D printing finds application in almost all industries and spheres of life. Due to its flexibility, this technology is used by large industrial companies as well as by designers, engineers, doctors, architects and hobbyists. Here are some of the main ones industries and projects, for which our services are useful:

Rapid prototyping – Testing and improving concepts before mass production.
Spare parts and engineering – Specialized components with high precision and strength.
Architecture and design – Detailed models and intricate decorative elements.
Jewelery and art – Unique and customizable shapes with high detail.
Medicine and Dentistry – Anatomical models, surgical guides, dental applications.
Props and personalised gifts – Unique figurines, souvenirs, advertising materials

The list of applications continues – from mechanical engineering, trans electronics (device cases, holders, drones), all the way up to souvenirs and personalised gifts. Every year there are new and new ways in which 3D printing is implemented and solves real-world problems or accelerates product development. Our task is to make this technology available to you, regardless of the field in which you operate. If you are not sure whether 3D printing can help in your case – ask us!
