PLA
FDMStiff, crisp detail, lowest cost. The default for prototypes, models and anything that lives indoors.
STL or OBJ, measured and estimated when you drop it — material, finish, quantity and provisional timing included. The server verifies the model before automatic checkout.
Your file uploads immediately for private server verification. Production and delivery details are confirmed per order.
The first estimate is calculated on your machine while the file uploads privately for independent server verification at checkout.
Your browser reads the mesh itself — volume, surface area, overhangs, wall thickness — and tells you straight away if something will not print well.
Material, colour, layer height, infill, quantity. Every change re-estimates in the same instant, with no request sent anywhere.
The server re-measures the uploaded file before accepting the order. Contact, payment, production and delivery are then confirmed for that order.
Each one is estimated from its own AED material cost and machine time — not a flat per-gram rate with a guess on top.
Stiff, crisp detail, lowest cost. The default for prototypes, models and anything that lives indoors.
Tougher than PLA and shrugs off heat and humidity — the sensible pick for functional parts in a Gulf summer.
Impact-resistant and heat-tolerant. Worth it for enclosures, brackets and parts that live in a car.
Rubbery and grippy. Gaskets, phone cases, feet, straps — anything that has to bend and come back.
Layers down to 0.03mm. Miniatures, jewellery masters, and parts where the surface has to look moulded.
No tier tables, no minimum order quantity, no account. Everything below is what we estimate in the UAE.
Your file is stored privately and deleted automatically if it never becomes an order. Download links are signed and expire in minutes.

Because nothing waits on a human. The browser measures your mesh and runs the same model we bill from. When you check out, the server downloads the file you uploaded, re-measures it and re-costs it from scratch — so the number you saw is the number you pay, and it was never taken on trust.
It goes to private storage the moment you drop it, so checkout has something to verify against. Nothing is public, download links are signed and short-lived, and uploads that never turn into an order are deleted on a schedule. Need an NDA first? Write to orders@imhotep-lab.com.
You will know before you pay. We flag meshes that are not watertight, walls too thin to survive the nozzle, parts that exceed the build volume, and files that look like they were exported in the wrong units.
The estimate derives a provisional lead time from print hours, configured queue time and configured shipping time. We confirm production and delivery details after the order is submitted.
Yes, and the price per unit drops as the quantity goes up — the discount is built into the estimate, not something you have to ask for.
Email it to orders@imhotep-lab.com for manual review. Timing is confirmed with the request.
No account, no quote request, no waiting on an email that starts with “thanks for your interest”.
