Coating
Objects
You can print composite models where the surface layer is a different material
than the inside. This can be useful to achieve unique mechanical and textural
characteristics. This technique is called “coating.”
To coat an object with a different model material:
1. Select an object on the build tray.
2. On the Model Toolbar or the
Model Settings
ribbon, click
.
The
Coat with
dialog box opens.
3. Select
Coat With
and, from the drop-down list, select the coating material.

4. In the
Thickness
field, enter a coating thickness between 0.3 and 3
millimeters.
Note:
The coating thickness does not affect the external dimensions of the
object, which remain unchanged. The coating layer replaces part of the main
model material.
