Objet Studio Software

The Objet Studio program for the Objet500 3D printing system consists of
two main screens:
• Tray Settings / Model Settings
• Job Manager
Tray Settings / Model Settings
In the Tray Settings and Model Settings screens, you prepare source files for
production in Objet500 3D printers. Objet Studio offers you a wide variety of
file-preparation options, but always consists of the following basic procedure:
1. Placing one or more objects on the build tray
2. Positioning the object(s) on the tray
3. Configuring object and tray parameters
4. Saving the tray configuration as an objtf (tray format) file
5. Sending the objtf file to the Objet500 3D printer for production
Using Objet Studio to perform these tasks is described in detail in Chapter 5,
"Using Objet Studio".
