Quotes for 3D print shops, built from grams and machine hours.
The customer sends the STL, the weight and the print time; filament, machine hours, support removal, painting and modelling are calculated as separate lines. One recipe from a single prototype to a 500-piece keychain run.
What the customer writes, and what Teklif Atölyesi pulls out
Hi, my STL file is ready. We need 20 pcs of black PETG parts on an FDM printer, about 45 g and 3 hours print time each, 30% infill. Can you make it by next Friday? Ethan - Atlas Automation
Highlighted parts are what the parser read. The message is one of the sample requests in the industry pack.

Where does pricing leak in this trade?
A price per gram is not enough
A 45 g part can print in 2 hours or in 6. Filament is costed by weight and machine time by the hour; if the time is missing, it is estimated from the weight and the layer quality.
Post-processing gets forgotten
Support removal and sanding sit on the quote as minutes per part; primer, paint and threaded inserts are added when requested.
Modelling time never makes it into the quote
For a spare part without a drawing, measuring and CAD time is its own line, independent of quantity, so the customer sees what they pay for.
On resin printers, time comes from the plate
On SLA the print time depends on the plate, not the part count: parts per plate and plate time are job details, and the unit price drops by itself on series.
Recipes included
A recipe: materials, operations, job details and formulas, default size and quantity breaks. Adapt them to your work and add your own.
