Adding new Printing Services

Overview

As new Printing Services (Fulfillment partners) become part of your ecosystem, you will need to first add them manually to your organization. After that, the print service will be able to further adjust its settings in the Service Panel.

Creating a new Printing Service can be completed with these steps:

1. Creating and configuring a new Printing Service

2. Adding the configured Printing Service to your Organization

Creating and configuring a new Printing Service

In the Admin Panel go to Partner > Fulfillment Partners.

Press ADD FULFILLMENT PARTNER+  in the upper right corner.

A new window will be opened where you can fill in all the details about the partner.

1. Name →like code (without spelling restrictions, e.g. 3D ABC)

2. Site → add the platform/organization to which the fulfillment partner should be connected to

3. Labels → select any certificates that this Service has. Those will be displayed in the Service Standards filter in the Basket if there are multiple Services present on the platform.

4. Users → enter the user who should be able to access the service panel for this fulfillment partner 

5. Website → Non-3YD website of the partner

6. Email → Non-3YD Email of the partner

5. File naming format
   In several places in 3YOURMIND platform, it’s possible to download a bundle of .stl files. This setting impacts the file naming format of those files.
   By default, the template expression is :order_number:-:sequence_number:-:name:.
   The setting can be configured via creating a custom template expression using pre-defined markers. Those will be later replaced by our templating engine.
   For example, the setting with an expression :name:---:order_number:---:sequence_number:---:order_created_by: will be templated to transport_sprocket_wheel---100456---5---john_doe. The full filename depends on other settings as well, but here is a possible filename created using the template expression from above transport_sprocket_wheel---100456---5---john_doe_optimized.stl.
   Here is the list of the available markers:
   
   :name:
   Name of the part
   
   :quantity:
   Number of copies to be printed
   
   :material:
   Name of the material if one is configured
   
   :part_id:
   ID of MES part, if one is known. Otherwise it’s set to Unknown

:order_number:
   - If downloading STL files from MES Part view or from Orders view:
   order project number + stage + order sequence number
   - otherwise:
   order project number
   
   For detailed info, please refer to the Sales Transaction Naming Structure
