System Requirements Document (SRD)

Project Name: Printique

1. Introduction

Welcome to the System Requirements Document (SRD) for Printique, a project aimed at creating a personalized 3D printing arts platform for customers. The platform will offer users the ability to design, customize, and order unique 3D-printed creations. This document outlines the system requirements, functional and non-functional specifications, and design concepts to ensure the successful development of the platform.

The project is tailored for Earner, based in India, and will consider locale-specific defaults such as currency (INR), timezone (IST), and cultural preferences for artistic expression.

2. System Overview

The Printique platform will serve as an online hub for personalized 3D printing arts. Customers will be able to upload their photos for 3D printing, browse pre-uploaded designs, and customize their creations. Designers will have a dedicated portal to showcase their work and sell their designs. The system will focus on ease of use, aesthetic appeal, and seamless functionality to deliver an exceptional user experience.

Key features include:

• A user-friendly interface inspired by Amazon for browsing and selecting pre-uploaded designs.
• Separate logins for customers and designers for streamlined workflows.
• Photo upload functionality for custom 3D printing.
