Bulk 3D Printing
Ordering many copies of a part? The more you order, the less each one costs: up to 50% off, applied automatically in the instant quote.
Upload your part and set the quantity
Quantity discounts
The discount depends on how many copies of the same part you order, printed the same way: the same model, material and colour, infill and size. It is applied automatically: set the quantity in the instant quote and the price drops as you reach each tier.
| Copies of one part | Discount |
|---|---|
| 1 - 9 | Standard price |
| 10 - 19 | 5% off |
| 20 - 49 | 10% off |
| 50 - 99 | 15% off |
| 100 - 499 | 20% off |
| 500 - 999 | 30% off |
| 1000 - 9999 | 35% off |
| 10,000 or more | 50% off |
For example, a part priced at $4.00 each costs $3.40 each when you order 50 (15% off), $2.60 each when you order 1000 (35% off), and $2.00 each when you order 10,000 (50% off).
Small parts benefit too: a single part has a $1.00 minimum price, and bulk discounts apply on top of it, so 100 copies of a $1.00 part cost $0.80 each. For very large or unusual jobs, email us at quotes@3dprinting.zone and we will quote it directly.
How to order in bulk

- Set the quantity. The price per part and the bulk discount update as you type.
- Add it to your cart, upload any other parts, and pay by card. We print and ship your order anywhere in Australia.
Several different parts, or the same part in different colours? Upload or add each one. Each gets its own discount, based on how many copies of it you order.
What bulk 3D printing suits
- Product parts and spares: brackets, clips, enclosures and replacement parts in runs of tens or hundreds.
- Merchandise and giveaways: keyrings, badges and branded items for events.
- Kits and classroom sets: the same model printed for every student or customer.
- Jigs and fixtures: matching tools for a production line. See jigs, fixtures and shop-floor tooling.

Frequently asked questions
Is the bulk discount automatic?
Yes. Set the quantity in the instant quote and the discounted price appears straight away. The same discount is applied in your cart and at checkout.
Does the discount count every part in my cart?
The discount counts copies of the same part printed the same way: the same model, material and colour, infill and size. 50 copies of one bracket in black get 15% off. 25 in black and 25 in white are two different parts, so each gets the 20+ discount, and 10 different models, one of each, are standard price.
Is there a minimum price per part?
A single part has a $1.00 minimum price. Bulk discounts apply on top of it, so 100 copies of a $1.00 part cost $0.80 each.
How long does a bulk order take?
It depends on the part and the quantity. Small runs usually start the same weekday if the material is in stock. For hundreds of parts or a deadline, email us before ordering and we will confirm the timing.
Do bulk prices include GST and shipping?
Prices include GST. Shipping is a flat $15 per order anywhere in Australia (free on orders of $80 or more), however many parts are in it.
