Makelab offers automatic volume discounts for larger quantity orders.
When volume pricing applies:
10+ identical parts: Discounts begin
25+ parts: Deeper discounts
50+ parts: Production pricing tier
100+ parts: Custom negotiated pricing
How volume discounts work:Automatic in Instant Quote Tool:
If you upload a file and request multiple quantities, the instant quote tool automatically applies volume discounts to the per-part price.
Custom quotes:
For complex parts or projects requiring engineering review, submit your files with the total quantity needed. Our team will provide volume-discounted pricing.
Why volume reduces cost:
Setup time (slicing, machine prep) is amortized across more parts
Efficient nesting of multiple parts in one build
Batch processing reduces labor per part
Material purchasing efficiencies
Additional volume benefits:
Priority production scheduling for large orders
Dedicated project manager for 50+ part orders
Potential for blanket POs with locked-in pricing
Tips for maximum savings:
Order all parts at once rather than in small batches
Use standard materials and finishes ("Tech's Choice")
Allow standard lead times (rush orders reduce discounts)
Consolidate similar parts into one order
Ordering fewer than 10?
That's fine. There is no minimum order, so you can order a single part. Bulk discounts start at 10.
