A user of the application is able to upload a variety of different files to the platform. From the apps administrators perspective, there are 3 different types of files that can be uploaded:

  • Media files,

  • Private media files (Static files), and

  • 3D files

Media files are usually provided by the service administrators and application administrators. These can be the logos of the 3D-Printing services, the background image of the 3D-viewer , or additional documentation for the materials. These files are always public, as they either contribute to the theming theme of the application or contain information that should be accessible by all users.

...

3D files are files, that are uploaded to the application for analysis, repair , and quotesquoting. These are also meant to be private. Only the printing service admins and the user who uploaded them should be able to see it.

The application currently supports two three different storage engines for all uploaded files:

  • Local storagePersistent Volumes

  • AWS S3

  • Local storage on the file System (only for bare-metal installations)
