Loading Model and Support Containers
Objet1000PlusprintersusefourcontainersofModelmaterialandtwo
containersofSupportmaterial,eachweighing18kilogramswhenfull.A
graphicalrepresentationofthecontainersloadedandtheircurrentweight
appearsintheprinterinterface(seethefigureonthepreviouspage).
TheprinterusesRFIDtechnologytoautomaticallyidentifycontainersof
printingmaterial.Forthispurpose,anRFIDmoduleispartoftheprinter
hardware.Tamperingwiththismodulewillrendertheprinterinoperableand
mayvoidStratasyswarrantiesandservicecontracts.
