1. How do I get a volume discount?
Makelab offers automatic volume discounts for larger quantity orders.
2. When Volume Pricing Applies
50+ identical parts: Discounts begin
25+ parts: Deeper discounts
50+ parts: Production pricing tier
100+ parts: Custom negotiated pricing
3. 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.
4. 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
5. Additional Volume Benefits
Priority production scheduling for large orders
Dedicated project manager for 50+ part orders
Potential for blanket POs with locked-in pricing
6. 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
7. Not Hitting Volume Minimums?
Even orders of 5-10 parts may see small discounts. Every quantity helps!
