PRINTING BATCH SUBMISSION FOR PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT
•
The printer batch processor allows users to prepare/send jobs and inquire job status for multiple printers across networks without
using 3D Accelerator Client software, which requires human interactions . It is compatible with various 3D Systems’ supported 3D
Printers, including ProJet, InVision, and ThermoJet .
