Objet Connex500: 3D printing charges for the Connex500 are determined by the gram weight of model resin used, plus the support material required to complete the build. The price examples provided are an average cost per family of model resin type. Job costs will vary due to the specific model resin type used, build conditions, model geometry, and amount of Digital Materials printed (composite or percentage mix of model resin types).

3D Scanning Service Pricing

The Scan Class Base Cost Charge is then added to the Class Rate Charge calculation result (Class Rate Charge multiplied by the cubic area measurement), and the Resolution Charge calculation result (Resolution Charge multiplied by the cubic area measurement). Appointments are required for the 3D Scanning Service job submissions and price quotes are issued at the time of appointment.

Class 1: Matte object with minimal thin features (below 1/4").
Class 2: Shine or thin features on object with moderate complexity or detail.
