Instant 3D print quote (your file)
Instant price for printing a 3D file (STL, 3MF or OBJ, by public URL, base64, or the file the person attached in ChatGPT). Our live quote engine slices it server-side and returns price (AUD, no GST), grams, print time, size, printability checks (fits printer, watertight, thin walls), bulk prices and a review_and_pay_url. Creates a saved quote. STEP/IGES files are quoted on the quote page.

estimate_quote
Quick price estimate (no file)
ESTIMATE when there is no file yet: shape (box, cylinder or sphere) + size in mm (or volume_cm3), material, quantity.

Nothing stored. Same thing as a plain GET: https://formada3d.com/api/quote/estimate?shape=box&x=10&y=10&z=10&material=PLA&qty=1&format=text

Returns a checkout_url (business.formada3d.com/design-help/) where the person pays and then uploads their files.

Rate-limited; links only, no files stored.
