Calculate what a print job really costs

A print job costs more than filament alone. FilamentManager helps combine filament, waste, electricity, machine time, handling, profit and VAT/tax in one calculation.

More than filament price

When selling or evaluating a 3D print, the calculation should also include electricity, machine time, waste, handling and profit.

  • Calculate filament usage and waste margin.
  • Include electricity use and machine time.
  • Add handling, packaging, post-processing and VAT/tax.
