Properly defining the criteria you use to classify print jobs is an important part of the pre-evaluation process for models.
Input the Minimum and Maximum Dimensions for the build chamber in the section “Accepted 3D Model Dimensions”. A printability warning will be shown to users in the Basket if the uploaded model does not fit the boundaries.
(For that case you can enforce manual pricing, see https://3yourmind.atlassian.net/l/cp/4WfukPHL )Production Time which will influence the total delivery time.
[optional] Upload the Datasheets which will be shown to your customers.
[optional] Set a safety stock level for the material
Click Save.
If you want to upload a data sheet in multiple languages it must be compiled in one PDF to be able to upload it all at once.
Publishing or Unpublishing a Material
To make a material public to customers, set the material to ‘offered’.
Publish a material by clicking on the Toggle Switch underneath the material name.
Hide a material from customers by clicking the Toggle Switch again.
As a Service, you can still select un-published materials and post-processings while creating quotes or orders. While customers can order a quote that contains an un-published material, they cannot directly re-order an order that contains an un-published material or post-processing.
