About MakerQuote
We're on a mission to help 3D printing businesses understand their true costs and price their work profitably.
Our Story
MakerQuote was born out of frustration. As 3D printing enthusiasts running small businesses, we struggled to accurately price our work. Spreadsheets were clunky, and existing tools didn't understand the unique costs of 3D printing.
We knew there had to be a better way. So we built MakerQuote – a tool that factors in everything from material costs and machine time to electricity and labor. Finally, a calculator that speaks our language.
Today, MakerQuote helps thousands of makers price their work with confidence. Whether you're a hobbyist selling on Etsy or running a full print farm, we're here to help you succeed.

These principles guide everything we build.
