Figure 6-9 Material Replacement Options
In the
Material Replacement Options
screen, you select the settings that
determine how the wizard replaces material currently in the system with
newly loaded material.
4. Choose whether you want to produce models in
Single Material
mode or
in
Digital Material
(“multiple-materials”) mode.
Single Material mode
Four print heads are used to print, using one Model material.
❒
This mode is required to produce build trays with the
High Quality
setting, and to produce trays with the
High Speed
setting, using only
one Model material.
Digital Material mode
Each of the Model materials loaded is used in two of the print heads.
❒
If only one of the Model materials is required for printing, models are
produced using two print heads. This makes it unnecessary to replace
the other Model material.
❒
If Model-material substitution is allowed, the printer produces trays
with the
High Speed
setting using a mixture of Model materials (see
"Model Material Substitution" on page 5-60)
5. In the
Required materials
section of the wizard screen, select one or more
replacement materials cartridges.
6. For Model materials, select
Both
if you need to load two replacement
cartridges.
Loading one replacement cartridge is more economical because it
potentially requires less flushing of material currently in the system.
However, when one cartridge is not sufficient, loading two cartridges
enables continuous printing until the print job is completed. When one
cartridge empties and the other one is being used, you can replace the
empty cartridge with a new one.
7. For Support material, select
Both
if you need to load two replacement
cartridges.
8. In the
Flushing cycle
section of the wizard screen, choose how thoroughly
you want to flush out material currently in the system:
