Work Configurations

Objet500 3D printing systems can be set up as single-station systems or as multi-station systems. When connected to a local computer network, the system can serve multiple users. In such configurations, each user (client) prepares files for production. A server, typically next to the printer, sends jobs to the printer.

When jobs are sent to the printer, Job Manager, on the server computer, arranges them according to their priorities, model-material type, and other factors. In multi-workstation configurations, the operator of the server—typically the production administrator—has total control over the jobs sent to the printer, and can prioritize jobs, delete jobs, review job history and reprint jobs.
