Material Spool Memory Chip

Each material spool has an axle with a memory chip; this memory chip recognizes the spool's
material type and tracks the spool's volume. The F123 Series utilizes a different memory chip
than other Stratasys materials and as a result, only F123 Series compatible spools can be
used to build parts on the printer.
Memory Chip
When a spool is installed, its memory chip is read and the spool's information is reported to the
printer. The spool's material type and volume are displayed within the Materials page of the
User Interface (see
non-compatible spool is installed an error will be displayed on the User Interface.
Each build file contains an estimate of the amount of model and support material required to
complete the build. When initiating a build, this estimate is compared to the amount of material
available on each spool. If there is not enough material available to complete the build, you will
be warned and given the option to change spools or install additional spools before starting the
build.
