Unlock the Benefits of Our New Iteration Pricing Model for Carbon DLS

Written by Nick Erickson | Oct 15, 2024 3:04:37 PM

At Aprios, we’re always working to make your journey from prototype to production as efficient and transparent as possible. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our updated Prototype Pricing Model for Carbon DLS (Digital Light Synthesis) manufacturing. Whether you're an R&D engineer or a product designer looking for high-quality, production-ready parts, this new model offers flexibility and clarity, helping you choose the best option for your project.

Why Carbon DLS?

Carbon DLS technology is transforming additive manufacturing by producing high-quality parts with smooth surface finishes and fine detail that traditional methods simply can't match. Whether you're developing intricate prototypes or ready to scale into production, Carbon DLS is the perfect solution for bringing complex designs to life. It’s ideal for industries like medical devices, consumer products, and industrial components that require both performance and precision.

Introducing Our New Iteration Pricing Model

To better serve your project needs, we’ve structured our new pricing model around two flexible packages: Prototype and Prototype+. These packages make it easier for you to plan your budget while getting the most out of Carbon DLS technology.

Prototype Package

If you need to quickly iterate and refine your designs, the Prototype package offers an ideal solution. It includes:

  • 1 hour of DFM (Design for Manufacturing) consulting and print analysis to optimize your design
  • CAD file setup in the Carbon Design Engine
  • Maximum part printing on a single M2 or L1 build platform
  • Resin cleaning, baking, and hand-finishing for a smooth, ready-to-use product

The Prototype package is priced at $1,000 per M2 platform and $1,500 per L1 platform, making it a great choice for R&D teams looking to move quickly through early-stage prototyping.

Prototype+ Package

For more complex or precision-critical projects, our Prototype+ package offers additional features to ensure your parts meet the highest standards. This package includes everything from the Prototype package, plus:

  • Critical tolerance measurements to inspect part accuracy
  • A 3-piece First Article Inspection Report (FAIR), providing detailed quality control and validation

The Prototype+ package is priced at $1,500 per M2 platform and $2,000 per L1 platform, offering a comprehensive solution for customers who need higher assurance of part quality and accuracy.

Additional Platforms for Larger Projects

For projects that require more than one platform, we offer additional platforms at discounted rates:

  • $750 per additional M2 platform
  • $1,250 per additional L1 platform

This flexible pricing allows you to scale your prototyping or production needs as your project progresses.
