3D printing on Materialize — common questions

Materialize is an online marketplace for 3D-print files with on-demand 3D printing built in. You can browse and buy printable models from independent creators, upload your own designs to sell, or send any model straight to a vetted print shop and have the finished part shipped to you.

No. Upload an STL, OBJ, 3MF or STEP file, pick a material and finish, and you get live pricing from a network of vetted manufacturing partners. The part is printed, quality-checked and shipped to your door, so you never touch a printer.

More than 60 materials and finishes, spanning everyday plastics like PLA, PETG, ABS and nylon, resins including multicolor and high-detail options, and metals such as stainless steel, aluminium and titanium. Available finishes and colors are shown for each material when you request a quote.

Print cost depends on the model's size, the material and the manufacturer you choose, so you see a live quote before you commit rather than an estimate. Materialize adds a 3% service fee on print orders, with a 99-cent minimum and a $5 cap, and passes material and shipping costs through unchanged.

STL, OBJ, 3MF and STEP files are supported for both printing and marketplace listings. STL and 3MF are the most common exports from slicers and mesh tools, while STEP preserves the parametric solid geometry that CAD applications produce.

Yes. Materialize runs a Model Context Protocol server that lets an authenticated agent search the catalog, upload a model, request a quote and place a print order on your behalf. Spending policies cap what an agent can order, and any order outside policy falls back to email confirmation before it is charged.

No. Materialize (materialize.cc) is an independent 3D-print marketplace and printing service, and is not affiliated with Materialise NV or i.materialise, with the Materialize streaming database, or with the Materialize CSS framework. The names are similar; the companies are unrelated.
