Choosing the
Support
Strength
When producing models, support material fills some hollow and empty
sections (see Model Orientation on page 5 29). 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
.

On the Model Toolbar, click

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.
