Using Objet Studio
Choosing the
Support
Strength
5–54
When producing models, support material fills some hollow and empty
sections (see "Model Orientation" on page 28). Objet Studio allows you to
adjust the strength of the structure formed with the support material. This
adjustment is useful when producing either large/massive models or small/
delicate models. For most purposes, the default setting provides adequate
support strength.
To change the strength of the support structure used when printing a
model:
1. Select a model on the tray.
2. On the Model Settings ribbon, in the Options group, click
or—
•
On the Model Toolbar, click
or—
•
From the right‐click context menu, select
The Advanced Properties dialog box opens.

3. In the Grid Style section, choose the support strength suitable for the
selected model. You can select a different support strength for each
model on the tray.
•
—for models needing average support (most models).
Standard
•
—for large models needing much support.
Heavy
•
Lite —for delicate models needing little support. (This setting makes
it easy to remove the support material.)
Note: If an object is split into shells, the Advanced Properties enabled vary
with the object selection. If a single element is selected only Hollow
is enabled. If a group of elements is selected only Grid Style is
enabled.
