About This Tool
This tool measures the solid volume of your 3D model in the browser, then estimates material weight and cost from density, infill, supports and your material price. Print time is a heuristic based on volume and layer height.
Tips
- 1Works with STL, GLB, 3MF, OBJ and PLY
- 2Adjust material price to match your filament or resin
- 3Estimates are approximate — actual cost depends on slicer settings
About Configuration Options
Cost Settings
Price per kg
Default20$/kg
Range5$/kg – 100$/kg
Price per kilogram of filament or resin.
Infill
Default20%
Range0% – 100%
Percentage of internal volume filled with material. Higher = stronger, heavier.
Layer height
Default0.2mm
Range0.08mm – 0.4mm · step 0.02mm
Height of each printed layer. Thinner = smoother, slower.
Supports
Defaultoff
Add an estimate for support material usage.
Fixed cost
Default0$
Range0$ – 50$ · step 0.5$
Fixed overhead costs like electricity and labor.

Frequently Asked Questions
About this tool
Q
How accurate is the cost estimate?
A
Volume is computed from mesh geometry. Material usage multiplies volume by density and infill. Real slicer results vary with wall count, top/bottom layers and travel moves — treat this as a planning estimate.
Q
Which units does the calculator use?
A
When the file embeds a unit (e.g. 3MF), that unit is used. Otherwise the tool assumes 1 model unit = 1 mm, which matches most STL exports for printing.
Q
Does support material affect the cost?
A
Yes. Enabling supports adds about 20% extra material as a rough allowance. Your slicer’s actual support volume may differ.
Q
Is my model uploaded to a server?
A
No. Volume analysis and cost math run entirely in your browser. Files never leave your device.
General questions
Q
Is Any3D completely free?
A
Yes, Any3D's core features are free to use forever. We provide format conversion, model optimization, and online preview at no cost, with no registration required.
Q
Are my files uploaded to your servers?
A
No. Files you select are processed only in your browser on this device—they never leave your device and are never sent to our servers. We don't store any user files; after processing, related data in browser memory is released.
Q
Do I need to install software?
A
No installation required. Any3D is entirely browser-based—just open the webpage to use all features. It works on Windows, Mac, Linux, and other major operating systems.
Q
Is there a file size limit?
A
The processing capacity depends on your device performance and the model's vertex count and texture complexity, rather than file size alone. We impose no file size limit, but when a model exceeds what your device can handle, the page may lag or even crash.
