05.6 Client Workstation Requirements to Operate 3DManage
Before a model can be built on the ProJet™ 7000, the model data file must be saved or exported to the industry-standard .stl file format, and
submitted to the modeler. The client software can be downloaded from 3DSCentral and installed on each intended user's workstation. This allows
the user to select, preview, and submit print jobs, as well as manage the print queue (for designated administrators).
Prior to installing the software, ensure that the initially selected workstation meets the following minimum specifications. The specifications
described represent 3D Systems tested minimum "baseline" configuration for using the client software. It is recommended that this workstation be
further enhanced for maximum performance, particularly with more powerful processors and added memory.
Note: Although the client software will run on less powerful computers, meeting the minimum recommended configuration will ensure
acceptable performance.
