Makelab offers five lead-time options depending on your project's urgency and chosen material. Once your file is approved and payment is complete, your order enters production based on your selected tier:
Next day: 1 business day
Rush: 2 business days
Standard: 3 business days
No rush: 5 business days
Extended: 7 business days
Which options you can choose depends on the technology: FDM offers all five; SLA starts at Rush (2 business days); MJF starts at No Rush (5 business days); Industrial SLA and FGF are Extended (7 business days). Very large parts and some materials can have longer minimums, and the Instant Quote only shows the lead times your parts qualify for. Lead times begin after your file passes the manufacturability check.
