Quick answer: 3D printing prices in Ho Chi Minh City in 2026 depend on the technology, material and size. At CT3D, FDM printing is charged by the gram: PLA and PETG from 650 VND/g (≈ US$0.025/g), ABS from 1,000 VND/g (≈ US$0.04/g), ASA from 2,000 VND/g (≈ US$0.08/g), and carbon fiber from 2,750 VND/g (≈ US$0.11/g). Typical Ho Chi Minh City market rates: a ~10 cm FDM model costs 300,000–700,000 VND (≈ US$12–27), and a 5–10 cm resin model 300,000–1.2 million VND (≈ US$12–46). Ready-to-print files usually ship in 1–3 days; CT3D runs 3 workshops in Linh Trung, Tam Binh (Thu Duc) and former District 6.
In Ho Chi Minh City, you have plenty of 3D printing options, from small workshops to companies offering multiple technologies. For foreign companies operating in Vietnam, the concern is rarely just the unit price, but also: how long delivery takes, whether you can collect in person, and how much a rush job costs. This article focuses on the real cost and lead time of 3D printing in Ho Chi Minh City. For a consolidated price list across all technologies, see our pillar article on 3D printing prices.
How Are 3D Printing Prices in Ho Chi Minh City Calculated?
There are three common pricing methods in the Ho Chi Minh City market. Understanding them helps you compare quotes from different suppliers fairly.
1. By gram of material (common for FDM)
The slicing software calculates how many grams of material will be used, including supports. The price is the weight multiplied by the material unit price. CT3D uses this method for FDM. Pros: transparent and easy to verify. Cons: it does not fully reflect complexity (a model with many fine details can still be light).
2. By model size
Many suppliers quote by size bracket: under 5 cm, about 10 cm, about 20 cm, and so on. This is easy to picture for customers who do not have a file yet, but it is only an estimate.
3. By volume and machine time (resin, MJF, SLS, metal)
For resin, powder or metal technologies, the cost depends heavily on actual volume, model height (which determines the number of layers, and therefore machine hours) and how parts are nested on the build plate. MJF, SLS and metal printing rarely have published prices and are usually quoted per file.

3D Printing Prices by Model Size in Ho Chi Minh City
If you do not have a file yet, you can use the table below to estimate your budget. These are market rates, not CT3D prices.
| Model size | FDM (market) | Standard resin (market) |
|---|---|---|
| Under 5 cm | From about 80,000 VND (≈ US$3) | 150,000–400,000 VND (≈ US$6–15) |
| About 10 cm | 300,000–700,000 VND (≈ US$12–27) | 5–10 cm: 300,000–1.2 million VND (≈ US$12–46) |
| 10–15 cm | – | 800,000–2.5 million VND (≈ US$31–96) |
| About 20 cm | 800,000–2 million VND (≈ US$31–77) | 15–20 cm: 1.5–3.5 million VND (≈ US$58–135) |
| 20–30 cm | – | 3–7 million VND (≈ US$115–270) |
| 25–50 cm | 3–15 million VND (≈ US$115–580) | Over 30 cm: quoted per file |
Source: Ho Chi Minh City market survey 2026, not CT3D prices.
Why are the ranges so wide? Because “10 cm” can be a solid block or a thin frame; it can be a square box with no supports or a statue with many overhangs. The same goes for resin: a 15 cm model printed upright takes far more layers than one printed lying down. That is why I always advise customers to send a file for an accurate price.
How Long Does 3D Printing Take in Ho Chi Minh City?
Lead time has three components: file preparation, machine time and post-processing. Delivery within the city is usually quick.
| Scenario | Lead time (market norm) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Ready file, no painting | 1–3 days | Most common |
| 3D modeling required | 3–7 days | From photos, drawings or scans |
| With painted finish | 7–14 days | Includes sanding, priming, painting and drying |
| Rush in 3–4 days | Surcharge of about +30% | When the standard lead time is longer |
| Rush in 1–2 days | Surcharge of about +50% | Depends on machine availability |

CT3D Workshops in Ho Chi Minh City: Pick-Up and Delivery
CT3D has 3 workshops in Ho Chi Minh City: Linh Trung (Thu Duc), Tam Binh (Thu Duc) and former District 6, plus our head office in Binh Duong. You can choose:
- Pick up at the workshop: convenient for customers in Thu Duc, the area bordering Binh Duong, or the western part of the city near former District 6.
- Door-to-door delivery: CT3D delivers once the job is complete; for other provinces, nationwide delivery takes 1–3 days via Viettel Post, Giao Hang Tiet Kiem, Vietnam Post or air freight (Nasco/Vietnam Airlines).
- Send files remotely: via our website, Zalo, email or our contact form – no need to visit the workshop.
My advice: if you need to check a sample before printing in quantity, arrange to view the first article at the nearest workshop. Confirming color, surface finish and fit in person helps avoid reprints.
In Depth: Why Do 3D Printing Prices in Ho Chi Minh City Vary So Much?
Different print settings
Two quotes for the same “PLA” can differ because one supplier prints at 0.2 mm layers and 15% infill, while the other prints at 0.12 mm layers and 30% infill. When comparing, ask clearly about layer height, infill, number of walls, and whether supports are included.
Post-processing included or not
Under CT3D’s policy, sanding, painting, plating, rush service and 3D modeling are charged separately. Market rates: single-color painting costs 200,000–500,000 VND (≈ US$8–19) per model; airbrushing 600,000–2 million VND (≈ US$23–77) per model. A “cheap” quote may not include these.
Reprint risk
A supplier with a low quote but a high failure rate will cost you time. For resin, CT3D’s experience is that tilting parts 20–45° and keeping the resin at 25–28 °C keeps the failure rate below 5%. During Ho Chi Minh City’s hot season, controlling the print room temperature is crucial.
Volume discounts
Market rates: 10–30 pcs, 10–15% off; 30–100 pcs, 20–25% off; over 100 pcs, 25–35% off. At CT3D, orders over 500 g or larger quantities receive a project quote.
Budget Examples for 3 Common Scenarios in Ho Chi Minh City
Scenario 1 – A student printing a project model: a PLA model of about 300 g, unpainted. At CT3D’s unit price: 300 g × from 650 VND/g = from about 195,000 VND (≈ US$7.50). Lead time with a ready file is about 1–3 days. Send your file early, as machine schedules fill up during thesis season.
Scenario 2 – A startup needing a prototype enclosure: a two-part PETG enclosure of about 180 g. From about 117,000 VND (≈ US$4.50) at CT3D’s unit price, excluding sanding and painting. If you need a presentation-quality surface for investor photos, add painting and allow 7–14 days at market norms.
Scenario 3 – A factory needing an urgent fixture: a carbon fiber fixture of about 200 g. From about 550,000 VND (≈ US$21) at CT3D’s unit price. If it is needed within 1–2 days, the market norm adds about 50%.
The figures above are illustrative calculations; exact prices are quoted per file.
Common Mistakes When Ordering 3D Printing in Ho Chi Minh City
- Sending only photos without dimensions: quotes can vary several-fold. Specify the desired height and width in mm.
- Ordering too close to the deadline: you pay a 30–50% rush surcharge. Ordering 3–5 days early is the easiest way to save.
- Not explaining the purpose: display models and functional assemblies need different materials and settings.
- Comparing quotes with different specs: compare the same material, layer height and post-processing.
- Faulty files: open meshes, wrong units. See our article on what an STL file is.
