Questions

Answers to common questions.

Something else on your mind? and we'll reply within one business day.

Which machines does Formfactories work with?

Anything you run. Presets cover the common machines, from 3D printers to laser cutters and CNC machines, and you can set up the rest yourself. We haven't seen anyone manage their break-room coffee maker yet, but you could.

Which files can your customers upload?

Anything, or nothing but a description. When it's a common 3D file like an STL or STEP, Formfactories analyzes it and, if you sell parts, gives an instant price.

Does it connect to our payments and accounting?

Formfactories works with Stripe for card payments and QuickBooks for accounting. Data also exports as CSV, so you can bring it into any other system.

Can we get our data out?

Yes. Production and financial metrics export as CSV, each project's files download in one go, and quotes, packing slips and invoices save as PDF. Machine profiles, maintenance history, inventory and client lists export too.

What does it cost?

Plans start at $400 a month for in-house facilities and $700 a month for shops that sell parts. Your exact price depends on the size of your operation, and every plan starts with a free trial.

Let's set it up for your shop.

Try it free on your own jobs, with a walkthrough if you'd like one.
