Upload Information For Your 3D Spark Setup
Upload the information once so we can set up your 3D Spark process chain and cost model quickly. You will upload a spreadsheet with your process steps and costs, and if needed, a slicer project file with your printing parameters.
What You Will Upload
-
A completed spreadsheet with your process chain and cost inputs
-
If requested by your CS contact: a slicer project file with your printing parameters
-
Optional: notes or special requirements
Where To Upload
Upload everything to your shared upload folder link provided by your CS contact.
Use these subfolders:
-
01_Spreadsheet
-
02_Slicer_Project
-
03_Example_Parts_Optional
-
04_Other
Step 1. Upload Your Process Chain And Costs Spreadsheet
-
Open the spreadsheet template in 01_Spreadsheet.
-
Fill in the required fields.
-
Upload the completed spreadsheet back into 01_Spreadsheet.
