Work Configurations
The Objet 3D printing system can be set up as a single station system or as
a multi station system. When connected to a local computer network, the
system can serve multiple users. In such configurations, each user
workstation (client) prepares files with Objet Studio software for
production. A server (host), typically next to the 3D printer, acts as a job
manager that sends production jobs to the printer for production.
Figure 3 2 shows the printer set up in a multi client configuration.
Figure 3-2: Multi-client network configuration
When installing the Objet software, you choose whether to install it as a
client station or as a master station (server or standalone station).
The Objet software arranges the jobs it receives according to their priorities,
model material type, and other factors. In multi workstation
configurations, the operator of the server—typically the production
administrator—has total control over the jobs sent to the 3D printer, and
can prioritize and delete jobs, review job history and reprint a job, and so
on.
