Part Labels

the part labels tab contains tools to label your parts for serialization or with bespoke text part label workflow video text select 2 points specify text location adjust text size as needed adjust depth as needed 0 3 0 5 mm recommended choose emboss or engrave ⚠ ⚠ label preview will always appear embossed but will print as specified color tells you which is selected emboss light gray light gray engrave dark gray dark gray click save to confirm label custom text can be added select an existing label to edit text can be hidden or removed label usage notes a single labeled part can be duplicated and retain the same text it is therefore advised to apply part label(s) before laying out the build , especially when using tokens part labels use a single font only decima mono bold you can set default part label preferences in your settings and user management (accessed from your dashboard) tokens tokens enable unique, serialized information per part with a single line of coded text in other words, you can apply the same part label to all parts on a build and the printed parts will be differentiated per the token's purpose part tokens key click the ? next to add part labels to pull up a key of all available tokens part tokens key tokens key click on the token name below to learn what each token can do {print uuid} the unique identifier provides a unique number to each print this example used the label text print no {print uuid} the number represented in the ui is an approximation of the final number, which will vary every time the project is printed to track the final numbers printed, export the csv from fleet management on your dashboard or from the prints tab on the printer {print uuid} {printer serial} the serial number of the printer can be tracked directly on the part with this token this example used the label text printer {printer serial} {printer serial} {print num} track which print number this part came from this example used the label text print {print num} {print num} {part name} the part name reflects the name of the uploaded stl model this example used the label text {part name} 💡 this token can be incredibly useful when printing bespoke parts for example, when printing dental models, the patient id can be in the part name and recorded on the part {part name} {customer name} this is your company name should you choose to reflect your brand this example used the label text {customer name} {customer name} {part pos} track where this part was placed on the build platform this example used the label text part position {part pos} 💡 use this information with the traveler pdf as a key to the numbered part position {part pos} {project name} document the name of your project on the part with this token {project name} {date} or {date\ format} date based labels can be printed directly on the part with this token applies the date at the time of printing default format yy mm dd format is customizable reference day js for all available options preview available for the current date (and time if used) time zone can be edited, defaults to browser setting this example used the label text {date} and {date\ yyyy mm dd h\ ma} {date} or {date\ format} the date and time matches the moment a user starts the print every time the users starts subsequent prints, the date will be adjusted accordingly the exception is when using the reprint functionality, which represents a frozen print state and will repeat the original print exactly reference fleet management for more information on adding prints to queues how to extract a part of a token it may be helpful when using the name based tokens to use only a portion of the name use the instructions provided to remove characters at the beginning and/or end of the name this example used this label text to remove stl from the name {part name\[ 4]} how to extract a part of a token 💡 this token can be incredibly useful when printing bespoke parts for example, when printing dental models, the patient id can be in the part name but you may want to remove extra information for example upper denture patient abc123 stl could be shortened to just the patient id abc123 with label text {part name\[22 4]} traveler pdf when using the {part pos} token, it is helpful to download the traveler pdf which provides a keyed layout of the build with the position number of each part note that the part position number is automatically generated with the {part pos} token and cannot be manually renumbered build layout with part position numbers using the {part pos} token build layout with part position numbers download traveler pdf from project settings download traveler pdf from project settings example traveler pdf example traveler pdf text as holes bullet point engraved at full depth bullet point engraved at full depth 💡 a quick way to add a hole to a part is to use engraved part labels this can be used to add a new feature, to provide venting, or to provide drainage for resin use a bullet point (or character of your choosing) set the depth slightly larger than part thickness set to engrave
