When will your resin printer pay for itself?

Use profit, not revenue, for payback

A printer has not paid for itself merely because sales equal its purchase price. Each sale also consumes resin, machine life, consumables, labour, packaging and selling fees. Use the true cost calculator to calculate a realistic unit cost before estimating payback.

Include the complete startup investment

A functioning resin setup normally needs more than the printer: washing and curing equipment, resin, gloves, filters, tools, containers and suitable ventilation or workspace arrangements. Include only costs genuinely required for your setup.

Stress-test the sales assumption

Run a conservative case as well as your target case. Demand, failed prints, product mix, downtime and seasonal sales can all extend the payback period. The print-farm capacity calculator can test whether your expected output is physically realistic.
