Producing Models
The ȱ Stratasys ȱ P750K ȱ printer ȱ produces ȱ models ȱ by ȱ printing ȱ tray ȱ files ȱ
prepared ȱ in ȱ the ȱ Objet ȱ Studio ȱ application ȱ and ȱ sent ȱ to ȱ the ȱ printer ȱ from ȱ there. ȱ
For ȱ information ȱ about ȱ preparing ȱ model ȱ files ȱ for ȱ printing, ȱ see ȱ “Using ȱ Objet ȱ
Studio” ȱ in ȱ this ȱ user ȱ guide ȱ or ȱ Objet ȱ Studio ȱ Help.
Preparing the
Printer
To prepare the printer for producing models:
1. Make ȱ sure ȱ that ȱ the ȱ build ȱ tray ȱ in ȱ the ȱ printer ȱ is ȱ empty ȱ and ȱ clean. ȱ If ȱ not, ȱ
remove ȱ cured ȱ material ȱ with ȱ the ȱ scraper, ȱ and ȱ clean ȱ the ȱ tray ȱ thoroughly ȱ
with ȱ a ȱ wet ȱ cleaning ȱ cloth.
2. Make ȱ sure ȱ that ȱ there ȱ is ȱ sufficient ȱ Model ȱ and ȱ Support ȱ material ȱ loaded, ȱ
as ȱ indicated ȱ in ȱ the ȱ printer ȱ interface ȱ (see ȱ figure 6 Ȭ 3). ȱ You ȱ may ȱ want ȱ to ȱ
replace ȱ the ȱ cartridges ȱ of ȱ Model ȱ and ȱ Support ȱ material ȱ currently ȱ loaded ȱ
in ȱ the ȱ printer ȱ to ȱ avoid ȱ the ȱ need ȱ for ȱ replacing ȱ them ȱ during ȱ printing. ȱ
Before beginning to produce models, it is recommended that you check the
current printing quality of the print heads by performing a pattern test (see
“Pattern Test” on page 25).
CAUTION: Use protective gloves when cleaning the build tray, and be
careful of the sharp edges of the scraper blade.
For ȱ installing ȱ material ȱ cartridges ȱ and ȱ replacing ȱ empty ȱ ones, ȱ see ȱ
“Loading ȱ Model ȱ and ȱ Support ȱ Cartridges” ȱ on ȱ page 4.
For ȱ changing ȱ the ȱ type ȱ of ȱ Model ȱ material ȱ currently ȱ loaded, ȱ see ȱ
“Changing ȱ the ȱ Printing ȱ Material” ȱ on ȱ page 11.
