The time it takes to print a model depends on the chosen material, finish, and part size. Our online platform will show you the expected lead time during the
ordering process.
The standard printing lead time, meaning the time between placement of an order up until the moment that we ship it, ranges from 4 to 10 business days.
Please note that all items of your order are processed together, and the item with the longest lead time will determine when your order will be shipped.
As with most post-production processes, extra labor is required and adds 2 working days to the lead time.
Materialise offers a Fast Lane service for online orders on a limited selection of materials, finishes and maximum dimensions with shipment within 48 hours. For more information see the article: What is the Fast Lane service?
