Choosing the
Support
Strength
When producing models, support material fills some hollow and empty
sections (see "Manual Positioning" on page 5-33). Objet Studio allows you to
adjust the strength of the structure formed with the support material. This
adjustment is useful when producing either large/massive models or
small/delicate models. For most purposes, the default setting provides
adequate support strength.
To change the strength of the support structure used when printing a model:
1. Select a model on the tray.
2. On the
Model Settings
ribbon, in the
Options
