Turkey 3D Printing Price Index
A transparent, data-driven index of 3D printing production costs and suggested sales prices in Turkey. Values are computed from real material, energy and machine data on the platform.
Last updated: 23/10/2026
Reference production cost
0.38 ₺/cm³
Most common material: PLA
Suggested sales price
0.53 ₺/cm³
Per gram: 1.33 TRY/gram
Price per gram
1.33 ₺/gram
Suggested price for PLA
Reference measure: 1 cm³ (1000 mm³) solid volume at 15% infill. Cost = material + electricity + machine depreciation (labour, packaging and shipping excluded). The suggested price adds the default 40% margin.
Real market index
Median ₺/cm³ measured from real quotes issued on the platform. Anonymisation thresholds are applied before publication.
Collecting data
A publishable market index requires at least 10 quotes from 3 different producers. Currently 0 quotes / 0 producers; 10 more quotes needed.
Anonymity: if a single producer supplies more than 60% of samples, the result is not published.
Which real data drives the index?

Index by material type
| Material | ₺/kg | Cost (₺/cm³) | Suggested (₺/cm³) | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PLA | 570.00 | 0.38 | 0.53 | real data (17) |
| PETG | 2,500.00 | 1.21 | 1.69 | real data (3) |
| ASA | 4,500.00 | 1.76 | 2.47 | real data (1) |
| ABS | 4,500.00 | 1.72 | 2.40 | real data (1) |
Material price trend
Monthly median of producers' material purchase prices (₺/kg).
Methodology
The index has two layers. (1) Reference layer: medians of real material prices (₺/kg), electricity unit prices (₺/kWh) and printer machine costs on the platform; using these inputs the platform's own cost engine computes the production cost and suggested sales price for a 1 cm³ solid volume at 15% infill. (2) Market layer: the median ₺/cm³ of real issued quotes, published only when there are at least 10 quotes from 3 different producers and no single producer exceeds a 60% share. The median is used because it is robust to outliers. The index is not a price commitment; it is a reference published so producers and customers can compare.
