Frequently Asked Questions
How much does TPU 95A cost per gram?
At a standard retail price of $32.99 for a 1000g spool, TPU 95A costs approximately $0.033 per gram ($32.99 per kilogram).
How much does a typical 100-gram print cost in TPU 95A?
A 100-gram print using TPU 95A costs $3.30 in raw polymer. Factoring in average electricity ($0.03–$0.06/hr), machine depreciation ($0.15–$0.25/hr), and an 8% failure buffer, a typical 4-hour print will cost approximately $4.75 in total manufacturing cost.
How do I quote commercial 3D prints using TPU 95A?
To calculate a client quotation price for TPU 95A: combine raw material cost, electricity draw, hardware depreciation, and operator labor prep time. Then apply a 40% to 65% retail profit margin (or a 2.5x to 3.0x markup multiplier) using the commercial pricing engine above.
How do I calculate TPU 95A cost from sliced filament length (meters)?
To calculate filament cost from slicer meters: at 1.75mm diameter, 1 meter of TPU 95A weighs approximately 0.29 grams, costing approximately $0.010 per linear meter.
