Ultrasim® 3D Cost Analysis (TCO)
Understand the costs for your 3D printed part
Learn about the cost structure of your 3D printed part, what drives costs, and how this compares to other AM technologies.
Why Ultrasim® 3D Cost Analysis (TCO)?
3D printing opens exciting possibilities, but in the end, 3D printed parts must also meet your target costs. Ultrasim® 3D Cost Analysis (TCO) provides more transparency on the actual costs per part. It allows us to break down costs in valuable graphs and better understand what drives prices. Benefit from our years of experience and broad portfolio of AM materials allowing us to compare all plastic AM technologies, including FFF, MJF, SLS, LCD, and DLP.
Benefits at a Glance
- Transparency of cost break down
- Compare up to 5 AM technologies
- Exploit full cost potential to commercialize your 3D part
- Sensitivity Analysis what happens if
- Adjust every parameter yourself
Available AM Technologies
- Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF)
- Mulit Jet Fusion (MJF)
- Selective Laser Sintering (SLS)
- Digital Light Processing (DLP)
- Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)
