                              Hi Dukejazz,
                              Following your thread with interest.
                              Could you please answer that basic question :
                              What is the average price, say $ by cubic mm of material for example, of 3d printed object?
                              Basic object cubelike and basic material to make it simple.
                              Thanks,

                              Patrice

                                Hi Elmer

                                Thank your for folling my thread
                                Answering your basic question :

                                Lets us start here with Joseph Chiu (BLOG)

                                Material cost for printing — ToyBuilder Labs (3D Printing Supplies ... | toybuilderlabs.com

                                " December 14, 2013
                                Material cost for printing
                                One of the most popular pages on this blog is the one on filament volume and length. But, I didn't break down the cost of plastic per volume in that post. Since several people have asked, the really short answer is about a dollar per cubic inch.
                                -These are ball-park numbers, but the quick take-away is that it's about a nickel per cubic-centimeter, or 75-cents per cubic-inch:
                                -A 1 kg spool of ABS is ~960 cm^3, while PLA is 800 cm^3.
                                -At roughly $40/kg, ABS is roughly $0.04/cm^3, and PLA is $0.05/cm^3. For non-metric folks, that puts ABS at $0.65/in^3 and PLA at $0.82/in^3. - Joseph Chiu".

                                Now your question:

                                @unknownuser said:

                                What is the average price, say $ by cubic mm of material for example, of 3d printed object?

                                Thus the answer for cubic mm of ABS material is
                                {($0.04/cm^3) / 1000 } = $0.00004/mm^3 (US$dollar/cubic mm)

                                ABS is roughly $0.00004/mm^3, and PLA is $0.00005/mm^3.- dukejazz.

                                -"BTW, a printer can extrude ~100 cm^3 an hour, assuming it's just extruding non-stop at around 10 mm^3/sec. In practice, the actual output is more like a quarter to half of that. So, as a rough ball-park, your printer can print out about $2 worth of plastic an hour. If you keep your machine busy, that means a roll of filament every two to four days.- Joseph Chiu"

                                -1 cubic cm = 1000 cubic mm or 1 cubic mm = .001 cubic cm

                                      Patrice, to be fair, there is a lot more that goes into the cost of a 3D print than just material. dukejazz did a wonderful job of breaking down the cost of the cheapest material available, but many machines use more expensive materials. You also need to include cost of the machine, electricity, operator time, and in some cases overhead costs like building rent.

                                      Hope that helps explain why costs can be be so much!

                                      looks like dukejazz also explained while I typed my post 😄

                                          Hi Dukejazz,

                                          Thanks a lot for this very complete answer 👍

                                          " Thus the answer for cubic mm of ABS material is
                                          {($0.04/cm^3) / 1000 } = $0.00004/mm^3 (US$dollar/cubic mm)
                                          ABS is roughly $0.00004/mm^3, and PLA is $0.00005/mm^3.- dukejazz.
                                          cheap!"
                                          Sure! but there is not much to do with such a tiny quantity...

                                          Anyway this helped me to realize that some people around in the 3D printing business
                                          are asking far to much for their services.

                                          Thanks again, keep going with the good job on this subject.

                                            Ok!Ok! I agree with both of you that there is a lot more that goes into the cost of a 3D print than just material.... But still, I join a picture including slice cut and dimensions of the object I asked a quote for.
                                            The volume is something like 30000 mm3 which means accoording to Dukejazz material cost estimation of ABS $ 1,2 in material. The quote I get is $ 250...
