Handling Trays
After preparing models on the build tray, you can do the following:
• Test that it can be printed ("validation").
• Calculate the time and material resources needed to print it.
• Send it to the printer for production.
• Save it for later completion or printing.
• Save it as a compressed file for convenient storage and transfer.
Before sending a job to the printer for production, you should check that the
Tray Validation
tray is "valid" and can be printed.
Note: Because of the unique characteristics of each type of modeling material,
make sure that the correct material is selected before performing Tray Validation.
To validate that the tray can be printed:
➢ On the Tray Settings ribbon, in the Build Process group, click
DOC-07027 Rev. E
or—
From the Tools menu, select Placement Validation.
If the tray is not valid, the color of the problematic models on the tray
changes according to a pre-set code.
