InfillQuote FAQ
Calculation Mechanics & Smart Calc
How our mathematical engine extracts slicer data, batch scaling, and reverse fees.
Our pricing engine combines 4 real manufacturing cost blocks: (1) Raw Material (model weight + multi-color/AMS purge waste + preventive failure buffer), (2) Machine Hourly Rate (power consumption in kWh + automatic lifespan depreciation + maintenance/wear parts + machine opportunity rate), (3) Labor & Setup Time (slicing, bed prep, support removal, and post-processing diluted across the batch), and (4) Packaging, Shipping, Taxes, and Reverse Marketplace & Payment Fee Protection.
In Smart Calc, you can import .3mf, .gcode, .stl, or .zip batch files directly from Bambu Studio, OrcaSlicer, PrusaSlicer, and Cura, connect to your Wi-Fi Printer on your local network, or pick pre-loaded models. InfillQuote automatically extracts filament weight, multi-color purge waste (AMS/MMU), exact print duration, plate count, and the 3D part thumbnail — without uploading your proprietary geometry to external servers.
If a marketplace charges a 20% fee and you simply add +20% on top of a $100 target (selling at $120), the platform deducts 20% of $120 ($24), leaving you with $96 — eating into your profit. InfillQuote uses the exact reverse-divisor formula (Price = Target / (1 - Fees)), ensuring that after percentage commissions, fixed per-order fees, and payment processing fees, you net 100% of your production cost plus your exact target profit.
Printing multiple units on the same build plate dilutes setup labor and initial bed heating/leveling across every unit on the plate. For larger production runs, Multi-Printer Parallel Batch Splitting automatically distributes plates across your printer fleet, calculating your true parallel production lead time.

When you select your printer from the built-in catalog (such as Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, or Elegoo), InfillQuote pre-configures its real power draw and estimated lifespan in hours. Hourly depreciation divides your printer's purchase value by its lifespan hours. In advanced settings, you can also configure monthly utilization and a machine commercial opportunity rate to remunerate the capital invested in your fleet.
Your .3mf, .gcode, and .stl files are parsed locally on your device for maximum speed and industrial privacy. When you sign in to your Cloud Account on Pro, your printer fleet, filament inventory, Portfolio catalog, quote history, and PDF branding are securely backed up and synced across all your devices.
You can choose between the Monthly plan, the Annual plan (with major savings and a free trial when eligible), or the Lifetime Pass (one-time payment). Subscriptions started on iOS or Android are managed directly through your App Store or Google Play account and can be canceled anytime with one tap in your store settings. Your Pro license syncs automatically between Mobile and the Web App via your Cloud Account.
Free vs. Pro Plans
Compare Free and Pro capabilities, welcome gift, and subscription details.
Basic Calc (free and unlimited) is built for fast, straightforward quotes: you type weight and print time manually and immediately get your filament cost, electricity, machine depreciation, failure buffer, and simple markup. Smart Calc (1 free welcome calculation + unlimited in Pro) automates full commercial pricing: it reads slicer files with zero typing, accounts for multi-color purge waste and per-plate batching, splits batches across multiple printers, reverse-calculates marketplace and payment fees, and exports watermark-free Executive PDF proposals.
When you start, you receive 1 free Welcome Smart Calc with all Pro features unlocked and a watermark-free Executive PDF proposal (in addition to the interactive tutorial PDF). After using your welcome Smart Calc, the Free plan includes unlimited manual calculations in Basic Calc (entering weight and time manually with real-time material, electricity, depreciation, failure buffer, and markup math), up to 2 printers, 3 filament spools, 10 Portfolio products, 5 Product Carousel items, quick text summaries for Direct Commercial Messages, and in-app PDF previews with the "SAMPLE - REMOVE WATERMARK WITH PRO" watermark.
InfillQuote Pro unlocks unlimited Smart Calc for commercial makers and print farms: • Unlimited Automatic Slicer Imports: Instant parsing of .3mf, .gcode, .stl, .zip files and local Wi-Fi Printer jobs. • Watermark-Free Executive PDF Proposals: 6 branded visual themes with your studio logo, payment details, commercial terms, direct sharing, and zero "SAMPLE" watermarks. • Reverse Marketplace & Payment Fee Protection: Built-in presets (Etsy, Amazon, Mercado Livre, Shopee, eBay, TikTok Shop, Shopify) with Offsite Ads / Free Shipping toggles and payment processor fees. • Full Production Engineering: Multi-color purge math (AMS/MMU), per-plate batch scaling (Qty per plate), Multi-Printer Parallel Batch Splitting, post-processing labor, packaging, and indirect cost wizards. • Unlimited Capacity & Cloud Sync: Unlimited printers, materials, and Portfolio catalog (with up to 20 Product Carousel slots), plus real-time Cloud Sync across Mobile (iOS/Android) and the Web App.

Workshop & Margin Strategy
Strategic guidance on markup vs. margin, machine calibration, and cloud sync.
Markup is the percentage added on top of your Production Cost (Profit / Production Cost). Net Margin is the actual percentage of the final Selling Price that stays in your pocket (Profit / Selling Price) after deducting all production costs, taxes, and marketplace fees. In InfillQuote's Price Dashboard, you can tap and edit Net Profit, Selling Price, or Markup directly, and the engine recalculates the rest in real time.
When you select your printer from the built-in catalog (such as Bambu Lab, Prusa, Creality, or Elegoo), InfillQuote pre-configures its real power draw and estimated lifespan in hours. Hourly depreciation divides your printer's purchase value by its lifespan hours. In advanced settings, you can also configure monthly utilization and a machine commercial opportunity rate to remunerate the capital invested in your fleet.
While you price a job, InfillQuote automatically checks whether your net margin falls below a safe floor (< 15%), whether print duration crosses shift boundaries, or whether marketplace commissions exceed your net profit — surfacing preventive alerts before you send the quote to your client.
