Handling Completed Trays

Tray Validation

DOC-13025 Rev. A
After you have properly placed all objects on the build tray, you save the
tray as an objtf file, which is sent to the 3D printer for production. But before
saving the tray, you can check that there would be no problem producing it.
You can also calculate how much material would be consumed during
production and how much time this would take.
Before sending a job to the printer for production, you should check that
the 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
or—
From the Tools menu, select
If the tray is not valid, the color of the problematic models on the tray
changes according to a pre‐set code.

Note: The "Both" color also indicates a problematic stl file.
The validation status appears on the bar at the bottom of the screen.
