Is Flarelab cheaper than 3D2Go?

Yes for catalog items and small custom prints. Flarelab catalog starts at ₱99. 3D2Go is geared for larger industrial / B2B jobs with higher minimums.

What's the difference between Flarelab and 3D2Go?

Flarelab is a small Parañaque studio focused on retail catalog (articulated toys, helmet hooks, fidgets, gridfinity) plus small custom jobs, with same-day Metro Manila delivery. 3D2Go is a larger Quezon City operation focused on industrial prototyping, scanning, and B2B production runs with multiple print processes (FDM, SLA, SLS).

Which is faster for delivery?

Flarelab. Same-day Lalamove / Grab in Metro Manila for catalog items ordered before noon. Custom prints 24–48 hours. 3D2Go typically quotes 3–7 business days depending on process.

Does Flarelab do SLA / resin / SLS like 3D2Go?

Flarelab offers FDM (PLA+, PETG, TPU) by default and resin SLA on request. 3D2Go also offers SLS (selective laser sintering) for nylon and engineering-grade parts, which Flarelab does not.

Can I switch from 3D2Go to Flarelab mid-project?

Yes — just send us the same STL or CAD file plus what 3D2Go quoted. We'll match material and quote within one business day. No setup fee, no minimum order.

⚡ Speed

Flarelab ships catalog items same-day in Metro Manila when ordered before 12pm. Custom prints quote within one business day, typical 24–48h turnaround.

3D2Go takes 3–7 business days for most jobs and often longer for SLS/SLA runs since their process variety means more queue management.

Flarelab wins on speed for catalog and small jobs.

💰 Pricing

Flarelab catalog items start at ₱99. No setup fee, no minimum order. Small custom prints commonly land ₱150–₱800.

3D2Go is geared for larger jobs with project minimums (often ₱1,500+) and per-quote pricing. Better unit-economics at scale, but higher entry cost.

Flarelab wins on small orders. 3D2Go competitive at volume.

📐 Process variety

Flarelab runs FDM (PLA+, PETG, TPU) and offers resin SLA on request. Covers 90% of consumer + small-business prints.

3D2Go offers FDM, SLA, and SLS — the last one is key for nylon, engineering-grade, and tougher functional parts.

3D2Go wins if you need SLS / nylon engineering parts.

📦 Ready-to-ship catalog

Flarelab has 380+ live SKUs — articulated wiggles, dragons, helmet hooks, fidgets, gridfinity, gaming stands, keychains. Browse, click, ships.

3D2Go is a custom-print service. No standing retail catalog to browse.

Flarelab wins if you want to buy something today, not commission it.

📈 Bulk & B2B

Flarelab handles bulk up to several hundred units with tiered discounts (10–25% off at 10/50/200). Corporate gifts, wedding favors, branded keychains.

3D2Go handles larger industrial production runs and has a more developed B2B sales process. Better paperwork, account management, NDAs.

3D2Go wins for industrial-scale B2B. Flarelab covers 10–500 unit gifting / merch runs.

👋 Customer experience

Flarelab: you DM the lab, you get one of the team. Reprint on damage, no return required. Small studio feel.

3D2Go: more formal sales + account-manager workflow. Better for procurement teams. Slower for one-off questions.

Depends on what you need — fast and personal (Flarelab) vs. structured B2B (3D2Go).
