Production
Estimates
Objet Studio enables you to calculate the time and material resources
needed for producing trays before sending them to the Objet30 printer. The
time it takes Objet Studio to make this calculation depends on the number
of objects on the tray and their complexity. Calculating the production
estimate for a full tray could take up to 15 minutes, depending on your
computer’s specifications. The results displayed are accurate within 10
percent of the actual resources needed.
To calculate the time and materials needed for producing the current
tray:
¾
From the Tools menu, select
Estimate Consumptions
.
or—
¾
Click .
When Objet Studio finishes calculating the production resources, the
results are displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Saving the
Tray File
Trays are saved as objtf files. You can save a tray before it is ready for
production, and open it at another time to continue preparing it. When you
send the tray to the Objet30 printer, it is first saved. If the tray was
previously saved, its objtf file is overwritten at this time.
To save the tray file:
¾
From the File menu, select
Save Tray
or
Save Tray As
.
or—
¾
Click .
Printing the
Tray File
When a tray is ready to be printed, it is sent to Job Manager, where it is
placed in the print queue. When the job reaches the head of the queue, Job
Manager pre ‐ processes the tray file to create slices, and feeds them to the
3 ‐ D printer.
To send the tray to the print queue:
¾
From the File menu, select
Build Tray
.
or—
¾
Click .
If the build ‐ tray file has not been saved, the Save As dialog box opens for
you to save it now.
Objet Studio checks if there is a problem with the positioning of objects
on the tray. If so, the affected objects are displayed with special colors
(see figure 5 ‐ 30 on page 5 ‐ 23), and the following warning message
appears.
