Modelpreparationinvolvesthefollowingbasicsteps:
1. Placeobjectsonthebuildtray.
2. Ifnecessary,manipulatetheobject’sorientationandposition.

Model Files
Toproducemodels,youopenoneormoremodelfilesinObjetStudioand
positionobjectsonthebuildtray.Youcanplaceobjectsonthebuildtrayin
twoways:
• byinsertingindividual stl or slc files.
• bypastingobjectsthatyoucopiedtotheWindowsclipboard.
