Basic Job Build Tasks
1. Network transfer via the GrabCAD Print application on your workstation PC. This is the
preferred method for adding jobs to the Job Queue. See

The GrabCAD Print option allows you to select a job which was processed and sent to the
printer (via your facility's Ethernet connection or via Wi-Fi) using the GrabCAD Print application
on your workstation PC. Jobs are sent in CMB format and placed directly into the Job Queue
(stored on the printer's hard drive). The CMB file contains the processed job's basic
information; this information is used to verify job compatibility with the printer's existing
configuration. For information on using GrabCAD Print, see the associated Help file within the
GrabCAD Print application.
The USB option allows you to select a job file which is stored on a USB flash drive inserted into
one of the available USB ports (see
used as a backup to the GrabCAD Print method if you are unable to transfer job files to the
printer via your network connection (due to poor connectivity, a network outage, etc.) and
provides a convenient option for you to reprint a common job. Alternatively, you have the option
of selecting a single job file off of a USB flash drive and printing it directly within the Build page.
This option is only available if the Job Queue is empty. See
details.

2. Open the oven door.
3. Place a new substrate onto the platen and lock the substrate into its build position by lifting

Warning: Hot Surface Hazard
Wear proper safety equipment when handling items inside the oven as surfaces
within the oven can be very hot.
Caution:
Always wear gloves when installing the substrate. Hand oils on the substrate surface
will result in poor part adhesion.
Never print in the same location more than once on a substrate when building a
job.
Using substrates not provided by Stratasys may impact part quality and printer
reliability.
