3D Printing Prices in Hanoi & Hai Phong 2026: From 650 VND/g

Quick answer: 3D printing prices in Hanoi, Hai Phong and Hai Duong at CT3D follow the same nationwide price list, based on the actual grams of plastic used: 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–filled filament from 2,750 VND/g (≈ US$0.11/g). Orders under 50 g are subject to a minimum charge. Resin, MJF/SLS and metal are quoted per file. CT3D has workshops and drop-off points in Hanoi, Hai Duong and Hai Phong, delivers nationwide within 1–3 days after printing, and offers air freight for urgent jobs.

Companies in northern Vietnam – including many foreign-invested manufacturers – ask CT3D two questions most often: “Can you print in the North, or does everything have to be shipped from the South?” and “Will shipping costs drive the price up much?” This article answers both with a concrete cost analysis, plus something few people mention: how the North’s humid “nom” season affects 3D printing materials and finished parts. For the general price list covering every technology, see our pillar 3D printing price guide.

What makes up 3D printing prices in Hanoi, Hai Phong and Hai Duong?

Every 3D printing quote has three cost layers. Once you understand each one, you’ll know which parts can be optimized and which are fixed.

1. Printing cost: charged per gram of plastic (FDM) or per file (resin, MJF, metal). This is the same whether you are in Hanoi or Can Tho.
2. Post-processing and add-on services: sanding, painting, plating, 3D modeling, rush service. Each item is charged separately and itemized in the quote.
3. Delivery cost: depends on the production site, weight, box size and delivery speed (road or air).

For small, light parts, the third layer is usually a small share of the total. For large, bulky models such as statues or architectural models, packaging and shipping should be planned carefully from the outset.

In the North, customers often use “3D printing in Hanoi” to mean both FDM and resin. But the two technologies work differently, so pricing differs too. FDM extrudes molten plastic filament through a nozzle, so the price follows the grams used. Resin uses UV light to cure liquid resin layer by layer; the price follows volume, part height, support volume and post-processing (washing, UV curing, support removal), so it is usually quoted per file. At market rates, SLA costs roughly 1.5–2.5 times more than FDM.

How does northern Vietnam’s humid climate affect 3D printing and costs?

This is a real difference between 3D printing in the North and the South, and it is rarely mentioned in price lists. Both the “nom” season (extremely high humidity) and the cold winter affect materials.

Moisture-absorbing filaments cause poor surfaces and brittle parts

Some filaments absorb moisture from the air. Nylon (PA) is highly hygroscopic, and PETG and ABS are affected to some degree. When moist filament passes through the hot nozzle, the water flashes into tiny bubbles, causing popping sounds, pitted surfaces, stringing and weak layer bonding. Print shops must dry filament before printing and store it in sealed boxes with desiccant. This is an operating cost professional workshops absorb; if you print at home during the nom season, keep this in mind.

Low room temperatures make ABS prone to warping

ABS shrinks as it cools. In a cold print room, the bottom and top of the part cool unevenly, causing edge curling (warping) or cracks between layers. Workshops address this with enclosed printers that hold a stable temperature. For large ABS parts, engineers may suggest switching to ASA or PETG if the technical requirements allow.

Resin is temperature-sensitive

Based on CT3D’s experience, resin should be kept at 25–28 °C during printing. Cold resin thickens, struggles to flow back into the area just printed, and easily causes layer separation or failed prints. During northern winters, workshops must control room temperature or warm the resin vat.

Caring for parts after delivery

PA12 parts printed with MJF/SLS may absorb a little moisture over time. Resin parts kept near a sunny window may discolor. Painted parts need time to dry fully, and drying is slower in the nom season. So for painted orders shipped to the North during the humid season, allow extra time.

Climate issue	Affected materials	Symptoms	Solution
High humidity	Nylon, PETG, ABS	Pitted surface, stringing, brittle parts	Dry filament before printing, store in sealed boxes
Cold room	ABS, ASA	Edge warping, layer cracks	Enclosed printer, stable temperature; switch materials if suitable
Cold resin	SLA/DLP/LCD resin	Layer separation, failed prints	Keep resin at 25–28 °C
Humidity during painting	Painted finished parts	Slow-drying paint, hazy surface	Paint in a humidity-controlled room, allow extra time

Cost examples for customers in Hanoi, Hai Phong and Hai Duong

Example 1: A Hanoi student printing a project model

A product model about 15 cm long that only needs a form check. After slicing, it uses about 120 g of PLA. Printing starts from 120 × 650 = 78,000 VND (≈ US$3). If a smooth surface is needed for a presentation, add sanding and primer fees. If it has very fine details such as embossed text under 1 mm, consider resin, since FDM’s 100–300 micron layers struggle to reproduce fine features. Our article on student project model printing goes into more detail.

Example 2: A Hai Phong electronics factory needing test fixtures

A PCB test fixture at room temperature, where anti-static properties are not mandatory. Weight about 250 g of PETG. Printing from 250 × 650 = 162,500 VND (≈ US$6.25). If 20 identical fixtures are needed, the order becomes a project quote. At market rates, quantities of 10–30 pieces typically receive a 10–15% discount.

Example 3: A Hai Duong machine shop needing an outdoor cover

An 80 g cover exposed to sun and rain. Choose ASA: 80 × 2,000 = 160,000 VND (≈ US$6.15). Choosing PLA to save money (80 × 650 = 52,000 VND, ≈ US$2) risks deformation in the summer sun and a remake. Cheap at first, expensive later.

Note: these examples illustrate the calculation using CT3D’s “from” prices; final prices are based on the actual file. Prices are indicative.

Shipping to northern Vietnam: road or air?

CT3D has workshops and drop-off points in Hanoi, Hai Duong and Hai Phong. Depending on the technology and material, our engineers will state the production site and delivery option in the quote. CT3D’s shipping channels: Viettel Post, Giao Hang Tiet Kiem, Vietnam Post and air freight (Nasco/Vietnam Airlines). Nationwide delivery within 1–3 days after printing.

Option	Advantages	Limitations	Best for
Pickup at workshop / drop-off point	Inspect in person, no shipping risk	Requires travel	Fragile or painted parts, parts you want to inspect before accepting
Road courier	Reasonable cost	Slower than air	Small technical parts, non-urgent
Air freight	Fastest for long routes	Size limits, higher cost	Spare parts for a stopped machine, urgent trade-show models

Packing prints so they arrive intact

Delicate resin parts and small details such as figure fingers or model antennas break easily. CT3D uses custom foam inserts and wraps each part individually; large models can be split into several assembled sections for compact boxing. If you need a single-piece model for display, let us know in advance so our engineers can design discreet joints.

Common mistakes when northern customers order 3D printing remotely

• Wrong file units: STL files don’t store units, so a 100 mm part can be read as 100 cm. Always state overall dimensions (L × W × H) with the file. See also what is an STL file.
• Not stating the purpose: “make it look nice” and “it must fit the machine” lead to different choices of material, infill and orientation. The wrong purpose skews both price and quality.
• Ignoring transit time when setting deadlines: add 1–3 days of delivery to your schedule.
• Ordering large quantities without testing: print one sample, receive it, test-fit it, then print the batch.
• Sending only photos: photos don’t give accurate dimensions. If you have no file, consider 3D scanning – see our 3D scanning service in Hanoi.
