Additional Objet Studio Features
Dividing
Objects
You can use the Split Object feature to produce objects larger than the build
tray by dividing the model into separate parts. With this feature, you
produce only a specific section of a model.
To split an object:
1. Select the object.
2. From the Object menu, select
Split
.
3. In the Split Object dialog box, enter the values to determine how Objet
Studio will divide the object. You can divide an object along any of its
axes, by entering either exact measurements or the number of parts.

4. In Save to Folder , enter the folder name.
5. Click
OK
.
The composite parts are saved as new stl files with “Part 1,” “Part 2,”
etc., added to the original file name.
Note: Before printing the newly created stl files, it is recommended that you
check them for defects in an STL-repair application, such as Magics ,
by Materialise.
Choosing the
Support
Strength
When producing models, support material fills some hollow and empty
sections (see “Model Orientation” on page 5 ‐ 10). Objet Studio allows you to
adjust the strength of the structure formed with the support material. This
adjustment is useful when producing either large/massive models or small/
delicate models. For most purposes, the default setting provides adequate
support strength.
To change the strength of the support structure used when printing a
model:
1. Select a model on the build tray.
2. In the Options tab of the object properties dialog box, click
Advanced
.
