Using Objet Studio

The ȱ object ȱ appears—on ȱ the ȱ build ȱ tray ȱ and ȱ in ȱ the ȱ model ȱ tree—as ȱ an ȱ
assembly ȱ of ȱ parts ȱ (“shells”). ȱ You ȱ can ȱ assign ȱ each ȱ part ȱ a ȱ different ȱ model ȱ
material ȱ (This ȱ is ȱ explained ȱ in ȱ “Model Ȭ Material ȱ Settings” ȱ on ȱ page 20). ȱ

Settings
Before ȱ placing ȱ objects ȱ on ȱ the ȱ build ȱ tray ȱ in ȱ Objet ȱ Studio, ȱ you ȱ should ȱ pay ȱ
attention ȱ to ȱ the ȱ material ȱ selection ȱ settings ȱ on ȱ the ȱ Tray ȱ Settings ȱ ribbon.
Figure 5-24: Material selection settings
•
By ȱ default, ȱ the ȱ material ȱ selection ȱ settings ȱ on ȱ the ȱ ribbon ȱ correspond ȱ to ȱ
the ȱ model ȱ cartridges ȱ loaded ȱ in ȱ the ȱ printer.
•
The ȱ material ȱ displayed ȱ on ȱ the ȱ top ȱ (VeroBlack, ȱ in ȱ the ȱ figure ȱ above) ȱ is ȱ
considered ȱ the ȱ primary ȱ model ȱ material ȱ (“Model Ȭ 1”). ȱ It ȱ is ȱ assigned ȱ to ȱ
objects ȱ that ȱ do ȱ not ȱ have ȱ a ȱ material ȱ assignment ȱ when ȱ you ȱ place ȱ them ȱ on ȱ
the ȱ build ȱ tray. ȱ For ȱ example, ȱ since ȱ stl ȱ files ȱ do ȱ not ȱ contain ȱ information ȱ
about ȱ the ȱ model ȱ material, ȱ Objet ȱ Studio ȱ assigns ȱ the ȱ primary ȱ model ȱ
material ȱ to ȱ them. ȱ Also, ȱ if ȱ you ȱ try ȱ to ȱ insert ȱ objdf ȱ files ȱ whose ȱ assigned ȱ
materials ȱ are ȱ not ȱ recognized ȱ by ȱ your ȱ version ȱ of ȱ Objet ȱ Studio, ȱ you ȱ can ȱ
insert ȱ the ȱ file ȱ by ȱ substituting ȱ the ȱ primary ȱ model ȱ material ȱ for ȱ the ȱ
missing ȱ materials.
•
Select ȱ Single Material ȱ if ȱ you ȱ want ȱ to ȱ print ȱ using ȱ only ȱ one ȱ material— ȱ of ȱ
the ȱ material ȱ drop Ȭ down ȱ menus ȱ contain ȱ the ȱ same ȱ material. ȱ If ȱ you ȱ decide ȱ
to ȱ print ȱ with ȱ multiple ȱ materials, ȱ the ȱ material ȱ in ȱ the ȱ top ȱ drop Ȭ down ȱ
menu ȱ remains ȱ assigned ȱ to ȱ the ȱ object ȱ until ȱ you ȱ select ȱ another ȱ material.
•
If ȱ you ȱ insert ȱ an ȱ objdf ȱ file ȱ into ȱ an ȱ empty ȱ build ȱ tray, ȱ and ȱ the ȱ model Ȭ
material ȱ assignment ȱ does ȱ not ȱ match ȱ the ȱ settings ȱ on ȱ the ȱ Tray ȱ Settings ȱ
ribbon, ȱ these ȱ settings ȱ are ȱ changed ȱ automatically. ȱ However, ȱ if ȱ there ȱ is ȱ an ȱ
object ȱ already ȱ on ȱ the ȱ build ȱ tray ȱ whose ȱ materials ȱ do ȱ not ȱ match ȱ the ȱ
material ȱ assignment ȱ in ȱ the ȱ objdf ȱ file, ȱ you ȱ cannot ȱ place ȱ the ȱ new ȱ object ȱ on ȱ
the ȱ tray. ȱ To ȱ print ȱ this ȱ object, ȱ you ȱ have ȱ the ȱ following ȱ options:
ˆ Instead ȱ of ȱ printing ȱ it ȱ on ȱ the ȱ same ȱ build ȱ tray, ȱ print ȱ the ȱ new ȱ object ȱ as ȱ a ȱ
separate ȱ job.
ˆ
Change ȱ the ȱ materials ȱ assigned ȱ to ȱ objects ȱ on ȱ the ȱ build ȱ tray ȱ to ȱ match ȱ
those ȱ assigned ȱ to ȱ the ȱ new ȱ object ȱ (see ȱ “Changing ȱ the ȱ Model ȱ
Material” ȱ and ȱ “Assigning ȱ a ȱ Model ȱ Material ȱ to ȱ Objects,” ȱ below).
ˆ
Change ȱ the ȱ materials ȱ assigned ȱ to ȱ the ȱ new ȱ object ȱ before ȱ inserting ȱ it, ȱ
so ȱ there ȱ is ȱ no ȱ conflict ȱ with ȱ the ȱ settings ȱ on ȱ the ȱ Tray ȱ Settings ȱ ribbon.
To change the materials assigned to an object before inserting it:
1. Open ȱ another ȱ Objet ȱ Studio ȱ window, ȱ by ȱ running ȱ the ȱ application ȱ from ȱ
the ȱ Windows ȱ Start ȱ menu.
2. Insert ȱ the ȱ new ȱ object ȱ (objdf ȱ file) ȱ into ȱ the ȱ empty ȱ build ȱ tray.
