The
composite
parts
are
saved
as
new
stl
files
with
“Part
1,”
“Part
2,”
etc.,
added
to
the
original
file
name.
Note:
Before printing the newly created
stl
files, it is recommended that you
check them for defects in an STL-repair application, such as
Magics
,
by Materialise.
Choosing the
Support
Strength
When
producing
models,
support
material
fills
some
hollow
and
empty
sections
(see
9).
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
build
tray.
2. In
the
Options
tab
of
the
Entity
Properties
dialog
box,
click
Advanced
.
The
Advanced
Properties
dialog
box
opens.

Advanced Properties
dialog box—Grid Style selection
3. In
the
Grid
Style
section,
choose
the
support
strength
suitable
for
the
selected
model:
•
Heavy
—for
large
models
needing
much
support.
•
Lite
—for
delicate
models
needing
little
support.
•
Default
—for
models
needing
average
support
(most
models).
Note:
You can select a different support strength for each model on the
build tray.
4. Close
the
Advanced
Properties
dialog
box.
Displaying the
Cross Section
of Objects
The
Section
feature
enables
you
to
view
the
interior
of
an
object
by
“slicing”
it
on
any
axis.
You
can
then
manipulate
the
object
to
inspect
the
interior
from
different
angles.
This
may
be
important
for
deciding
on
the
type
of
support
necessary
when
producing
the
model
(see
Displaying
an
object’s
cross
section
only
affects
how
the
tray
is
displayed
on
the
screen;
it
does
not
change
the
object
itself.
The
Lock Orientation
option is not connected to the Grid Style selection.
This setting is described in “Freezing an Object’s Orientation” on page 5-16.
