Always priced under the metal tool it replaces.

The full landed cost sets the ceiling. When we rebuild an existing metal tool, that cost includes unit price, freight, brokerage, and applicable import duties. Your instant quote responds to the product or service, configuration, material, quantity, and service tier you select; engineering review confirms the final build.

How Rebuild, Catalog, Replace pricing works.

Start with the metal-cost ceiling, pay for digitization once, then reorder from the approved file. Select any step to see what enters the price, what Key3D does, and what it means for the next order.

Rebuild pricing sequence

Set the ceiling against metal.

A rebuilt tool is priced below the incumbent metal tool’s full landed cost.

What enters the price
Unit price, freight, brokerage, and applicable duties.
What Key3D does
Use that landed cost as the ceiling, never the target.
What this means
A complete comparison baseline instead of the metal tool’s unit price alone.

Pay for digitization once.

The first build turns the physical tool into a digital asset you keep.

What enters the price
One-time scanning, reverse engineering, and cataloging.
What Key3D does
Create and retain the approved file used to make the tool.
What this means
The digital asset remains ready for future orders.

Reorder from the approved file.

Every reorder after the first build is print-only.

What enters the price
Your approved file and print configuration.
What Key3D does
Print the next tool at the print-only price without repeating digitization.
What this means
The one-time digitization fee is never charged again for that approved file.

Watch the savings across a tool’s life, not only the first part. Savings are smallest on one inexpensive first part and largest on complex, low-volume tools that are costly in metal.

Your product or service, selected configuration, quantity, and service tier build the quote. Each input stays visible, with no setup fees, machine-time line items, or hidden markups.

Result
Instant quote

The instant quote starts with the product, service, or design you select then responds to material, reinforcement, options, quantity, and service tier. No setup fees, no machine-time line items, no minimums, and never below our cost to make the part. Continuous-fiber reinforcement, scanning, reverse engineering, metal inserts, and rush work remain tied to the selected scope. A standalone 3D scan has its own instant quote based on output, size, complexity, quantity, and service tier; the $75 scan base applies only as a bundled step inside reverse-engineering and fixture work. Multi-part orders earn a tiered quantity discount, capped at 25%.

Common questions.

What's the base price?

The instant quote starts with the product, service, or design and updates with final geometry, configuration, material, reinforcement, selected options, quantity, and service tier. It never drops below our cost to make the part. The $75 scan base is a bundled entry step inside reverse-engineering and fixture work, not a standalone price; a standalone scan has its own instant quote based on output, size, complexity, quantity, and service tier. Engineering review confirms final construction, scope, and price. No setup fees, no machine-time line items, no minimums.

How fast is a quote?

Catalog products and defined service packages build an instant quote from the options, material, quantity, and service tier you select. Material interfaces and the stated load case receive engineering review; genuinely custom work such as reverse engineering, conformal inspection fixtures, and large fiberglass runs is confirmed to scope at intake. Fabrication start is confirmed with your quote, with an internal target within one business day of approval.

How do quantity discounts work?

Multi-part orders earn a tiered quantity discount, capped at 25%. It applies automatically once you set quantity; exact breakpoints show on your live quote.

Volume or recurring orders?

Recurring orders of the same part benefit from archived build files (no re-modeling). Volume discounts are negotiated above 50 units per quarter: contact the studio.

Shipping included?

Standard ground shipping is free. Faster service (UPS / FedEx, expedited, or overnight) adds only the difference over the free ground rate, shown on the quote by destination and weight. Rush and Emergency speed selections include faster shipping.

Fixed-scope work instead?

For fixed-scope work (modeling, scanning, single replacement parts), the studio quotes flat-rate service packages. Contact the studio with the scope and you'll get a fixed price, not an hourly estimate.

Reorders are where the savings compound.
Rebuild your at-risk metal tools as domestic composite, cataloged by part number in your digital locker and reprinted on demand: the first build digitizes, every reorder after is print-only.
