Why FDM quoting is difficult to automate

FDM is one of the hardest additive manufacturing processes to price accurately.

Cost is driven by machine behavior, print settings, and geometry-making small changes significantly impact time, material usage, and final price.

From simplified to real-world variables

Move beyond basic volume-based pricing to estimation based on actual print behavior.

From generic models to FDM-aware logic

Replace simplified assumptions with pricing that reflects real print settings and machine behavior.

From operator guesswork to consistent pricing

Remove dependency on manual adjustments and individual experience.

From unpredictable to production-aligned

Understand how print time, material use, and setup choices affect real production cost.

Instant FDM pricing, powered by a slicer-built engine

AM Pilot uses an in-house developed FDM engine that applies slicer logic directly to quotation.
It extracts only the variables that matter for pricing-print time, material usage, supports, and movement-without running a full production slicer. This makes pricing both instant and aligned with real production output.

👉Assumption-based pricing vs print-driven pricing

Most AM pricing systems rely on simplified models to keep calculations fast.

This often leads to gaps between quoted cost and actual production.

AM Pilot takes a different approach—pricing built on how parts are actually printed.

From quote to production without rework

With AM Pilot, pricing is not a standalone step.

Quotes are generated from production-aware logic and move directly into execution—

without manual adjustments or revalidation.
