Whenprintingbegins,ObjetStudiosendssevenslicestothe printer‐control
application.ThisisthestandardbufferbetweenObjetStudioandthe
printer.Aseachsliceisprinted,anothersliceissenttotheprinter.
Dependingonthesizeofthemodel(s)tobeproduced,printingcantake
betweenseveral
hourstoseveraldays.AslongasthereisenoughModel

automaticallyuntilthejobisfinished.
