("Refer Image-3" in the below screenshot section.)
 
Use the drop-down menu next to 'Select Material' to choose different materials and see their indicative prices.
 
It is possible to see monetary values in different currencies (USD, EUR, GBP) by selecting the gear icon next to the 'Indicative AM Price of Current Design'.
 
Select 'View All Prices' to see a breakdown of potential and current indicative pricing before and after a redesign for AM in all available material options
For more details or to obtain an accurate price and to order the part, select "Order Part".

Note that whilst indicative prices are based upon real AM analytics, these are not guaranteed prices, especially for small quantities of lower value parts (less than $10 / €10), where small set-up charges may apply.
