PolyQuote is a 3D print pricing API. Embed accurate cost calculation — filament, electricity, platform fees, markup — into your workflow, spreadsheet, or app with a single call. Built for developers and automation-minded sellers who've outgrown manual calculators.
There are calculators for manual pricing. PolyQuote is for when you need pricing in your code.
Material cost, electricity, failure buffer, packaging, platform fees, and recommended sale price — returned in a single API response.
Override the system defaults with your actual cost per kg. Every calculation reflects your real margins, not generic averages.
Pass platform: "etsy" and get Etsy's full fee breakdown baked into the quote. Same for eBay and Shopify.
Sign up free in under a minute. Your key arrives by email and works instantly — no setup, no config.
Weight in grams. Filament type. Print time in hours. Optional markup. That's it.
Material cost, electricity, markup, and recommended sale price — calculated and returned fast.
PolyQuote works anywhere you can make an HTTP request. Here are three ways to get started.
curl -X POST \

-d '{

"weight_grams": 85,
