How to get started with 3D printing isn’t an easy decision. Should you buy a printer? Use a 3D printing service? What material should you use? With the increase of materials and printing technologies available, it’s hard to know which path to choose while staying within your budget.

To help remedy this problem, 3D printing service bureau Sculpteo has posted a blog titled “How much does it cost to 3D print?”

The blog outlines the costs associated with 3D printing, including different types of printing, typical 3D printing materials, and associated processes such as finishing and design.
