Choosing the
Support
Strength
Whenproducingmodels,supportmaterialfillssomehollowandempty
sections(see“ModelOrientation”onpage 28).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tray.
2. OntheModelSettingsribbon,intheOptionsgroup,click
.
or—
• OntheModelToolbar,click .
or—
• Fromtheright‐clickcontextmenu,selectAdvanced Properties.
TheAdvancedPropertiesdialogboxopens.

3. IntheGridStylesection,choosethesupportstrengthsuitableforthe
selectedmodel.Youcanselectadifferentsupportstrengthforeach
modelonthetray.
• Standard—formodelsneedingaveragesupport(mostmodels).
• Heavy—forlargemodelsneedingmuchsupport.
• Lite—fordelicatemodelsneedinglittlesupport.(Thissettingmakes
iteasytoremovethesupportmaterial.)
Note: If an object is split into shells, the Advanced Properties enabled vary
with the object selection. If a single element is selected only Hollow
is enabled. If a group of elements is selected only Grid Style is
enabled.
