The price of machine design, 3D modelling, structural calculations, 3D animation and machine software depends on the scope, the complexity and the outputs you need. Because every machine is different, we prepare a quote for your project instead of a fixed price list. This page explains what determines the price and what to send for a fast quote.
What determines the price of machine design?
- Complexity of the machine: Number of parts, mechanisms and moving axes.
- Starting point: A design from scratch or a revision of an existing machine?
- Outputs needed: 3D model, manufacturing drawings, bill of materials, analysis reports, animation.
- Verification: The scope of strength and motion analysis.
- Deadline: The required delivery time.
For details see our machine design page.
3D modelling pricing
Preparing a 3D model and drawings of a part, product or machine from your drawings, measurements or photos is priced by the number of parts, the complexity of the geometry and how complete the measurements are. The file formats for delivery are agreed at the start.
Structural and load calculation pricing
- Size of the structure or part and the complexity of the load-bearing system
- Loads to calculate: snow, wind, seismic and imposed loads
- Simulation: Whether a strength analysis with a computer model is required
- Report scope and the specification to follow
Structural design for building permits is a separate service; this pricing covers load calculations and strength analysis of machines and structural elements. Details: structural analysis and load calculations.
3D animation pricing
- Length of the animation and the number of working steps to show
- Whether a 3D model already exists
- Visual detail: environment, materials and lighting
- Purpose: design review or marketing and sales?
When an animation is made together with a kinematic analysis, the motion is already verified. Details: kinematic analysis and animation.
Machine and automation software pricing
- Number of inputs/outputs and the machine’s working steps
- Number of screens and the scope of the operator interface
- Recipe, report and logging requirements
- Communication with the PLC and compatibility with the existing system
- Commissioning: time needed on site
Details: machine control software.
All in one
When design, analysis, animation and software are planned as one project, the same model and information are used at every stage, and no time is lost passing information between separate companies. You can use all our engineering services together or separately.
What to send for a fast quote
- Machine design: What the machine must do, capacity, size limits, any sketches or photos
- 3D modelling: Drawings, measurements or photos of the part
- Structural calculation: Dimensions and location of the structure or part, any drawings or 3D model
- Animation: Any 3D model and the working steps to explain
- Machine software: PLC type, I/O list and the machine’s operating sequence
How quoting works

- We fill any gaps in a short call.
- We send the scope, deliverables, schedule and price in writing.
- Work starts with your approval.
Frequently asked questions
How much does machine design cost?
It depends on the machine’s complexity, the number of parts and the outputs you need, so we prepare a quote for each project. Send us what the machine must do and any sketches, and we will send the scope and price in writing.
What affects 3D modelling prices?
The number of parts, the complexity of the geometry, how complete the measurements are, and the files and drawings to be delivered.
How is the price of a structural calculation determined?
By the size of the structure or part, the loads to calculate (snow, wind, seismic), whether a simulation is needed, and the report scope.
How is 3D animation priced?
By the length of the animation, the number of steps shown, whether a 3D model already exists and the level of visual detail.
What determines the price of machine software?
The number of I/Os and screens, recipe and report requirements, PLC communication and the time needed for commissioning on site.
