Using Objet Studio

Production
Estimates Objet Studio enables you to calculate the time and material resources
needed for producing trays before sending them to the printer. The time it
takes Objet Studio to perform 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.
To calculate the time and materials needed for producing the current
tray:
On the Tray Settings ribbon, in the Build Process group, click .
While the estimate is being calculated, a progress bar is displayed—on
the right side of the status bar (at the bottom of the screen).

When Objet Studio finishes calculating the production resources, the
results are displayed in a dialog box.
Figure 5-69: Production resource calculations for different printing modes
As shown in the Production Estimates dialog box, the resources needed for
producing the models on the tray depend on the printing mode used by the
printer when producing the job. You might want to consider these
estimates when deciding on the printing mode (see below), and whether or
not to allow using substitute model materials when printing the job.
Note: You select the printing mode and material substitute options after
you send the build tray to the printer (see “Printing the Tray File” on
page 50).
Printing Modes Objet printers can build models using three possible printing modes.
HQ (High Quality) Mode—
•
Models are printed in 16 micron layers, resulting in smooth surfaces,
suitable for producing fine detailed and delicate items.
•
Almost twice as much time is required to print most trays, compared to
the High Speed setting.
•
This setting is only available when model material can be used in four
print heads, in
single material printing .
