DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a client/server
protocol that automatically provides an IP host (such as
your 3D printer) with its IP address and other related net-
working parameters such as the IP subnet mask and de-
fault gateway IP address. In the absence of a DHCP server
on a local network, each network device (such as your 3D
printer) will need to have a statically (
i.e.
, manually) as-
signed IP address.
DWG file
DWG is a proprietary, binary file format for storing 2D
and 3D design data, used by a number of CAD packages,
including for instance by Autodesk. There are a number of
variants of DWG format. The Polar Cloud does not act on
such files itself – but in case you have an object originally
designed in a CAD package that generated such a file, and
you would like to store an object’s DWG design file in the
Polar Cloud along with its
.stl
or OBJ model file, the
Polar Cloud does support uploading and storing DWG files
as object subsidiary files.

DXF file
DXF (Drawing eXchange Format) is a CAD file format de-
veloped by Autodesk, intended to enable interoperability
between Autodesk’s DWG files and other CAD programs.
Although the Polar Cloud does not act on such files itself, in
