Handling Completed Trays
Afteryouhaveproperlyplacedallobjectsonthebuildtray,yousavethe
trayasanobjtffile,whichissentto the3Dprinterforproduction.Butbefore
savingthetray,youcancheckthattherewouldbenoproblemproducingit.
Youcanalsocalculatehowmuchmaterial
wouldbeconsumedduring
productionandhowmuchtimethiswouldtake.
Tray Validation
Beforesendingajobtotheprinterforproduction,youshouldcheckthat
thetrayis“valid”andcanbeprinted.
Note: Because of the unique characteristics of each type of modeling
material, make sure that the correct material is selected before
performing Tray Validation.
To validate that the tray can be printed:
¾
OntheTraySettingsribbon,intheBuildProcessgroup,click .
or—
FromtheToolsmenu,select
Placement Validation.
Ifthetrayisnotvalid,thecoloroftheproblematicmodelsonthetray
changesaccordingtoapre‐setcode.

Note: The “Both” color also indicates a problematic stl file.
Thevalidationstatusappearsonthebaratthebottomofthescreen.

Ifthemaximumcombinedweightofmodelsonthebuildtrayexceeds
135kg,awarningmessageappears.Ifso,youcanremoveorresizeone
ormoremodelsbeforesendingthetraytotheprinter.
