— Without vs with

Stop guessing. Start knowing.

Without Printastic
  • «30g feels right…» — eyeballed weight
  • Print starts → 3 hours later you find out it's 8h, not 2h
  • Material switch = guess again from scratch
  • Cost? Vibes-based. Profit margin = unknown.
★ With Printastic
With Printastic
  • Real grams from the same slicer your printer uses
  • Time-to-finish before you even hit Print
  • Side-by-side PLA / PETG / ABS / TPU comparison
  • Cost = filament × YOUR €/kg + machine time. Done.
— How it works

Three steps. About 10 seconds on most files.

STEP · 01
Upload

STL · OBJ · 3MF · PLY · GLB up to 200 MB. Stored encrypted; deletable from your cabinet anytime.

STEP · 02
Calculate

Our in-house Printastic Engine analyses your mesh, predicts the slice, and compares materials in parallel. Real time, real grams, real €.

STEP · 03
Print

Download the 3D-rotatable preview, the printability report, or the PDF. No surprises mid-print.

— What you actually see

Before, it's a mystery. After, it's this.

— Before · what you don't know
?Will this actually fit on my 22cm bed?
?How many grams of filament will I burn?
?Is it 2 hours or 8 hours? Do I leave it overnight?
?Are these walls thin enough to fail?
?Is PLA cheaper than PETG for THIS part?
?Total cost if my filament is €19/kg, not €24?

— Who uses this

Six kinds of folks. One calculator.

Whether you're shipping production parts or printing your first dragon, the math is the same — and we do it in 10s.

Engineering
Brackets, jigs, fixtures

Quote a CNC alternative, validate a design against PETG strength, check whether a part survives at 0.4mm walls before committing.

wall thicknessstress-fittolerances
Cosplay & props
Helmets, armor, swords

Big parts split into segments. Compare ABS vs PETG vs PLA-CF for impact strength. See actual hours so the con deadline doesn't slip.
