Introducing the Connex500/350 3D Printing System
Objet Studio Software
3–10
Objet Studio software for the Connex 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 Connex 3D printers. Objet Studio offers you a wide variety of
file‐preparation options, but always consists of the following basic
procedure:
1. Inserting 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 (Objet Tray Format) file
5. Sending the objtf file to the Connex 3D printer for production
Using Objet Studio to perform these tasks is described in detail in chapter 5,
"Using Objet Studio."
Job Manager
The Job Manager screen is different for client workstations and for the
computer connected directly to the Connex 3D printer.
•
In Objet Studio installed on the directly‐connected computer (server),
the Job Manager screen displays the queue and status for all jobs sent to
the 3D printer by the server itself and by all client computers on the
network. All jobs displayed can be edited and manipulated.
•
In Objet Studio installed on client computers, the Job Manager screen
displays the queue and status only for jobs sent to a 3D printer server
from that computer. Only these jobs can be edited and manipulated
from the client computer.
Client computers can be connected, via the local network, to different Objet
3D printers, but only to one at a time. The Job Manager screen displays the
status of the 3D printer to which the client is currently connected.
