Loading Model and Support Cartridges
Objet30 printers use two cartridges of model material and two cartridges of
support material, each weighing one kilogram when full. A graphical
representation of the cartridges and their current weight appears in the
printer interface (see figure 7‐3).
Note: The printer-control interface displays the type and weight of the
material cartridges loaded only if the printing-materials drawer is
closed.
Important: If you need to replace the model material currently
installed with another type, see “Changing the Model Material”
on page 7‐11. Otherwise, make sure to replace the model
cartridge with one containing the same type of material.
To load model and support cartridges:
1. On the front of the Objet30 printer (see figure 7‐1), push the printing‐
materials drawer to release it and pull it open.
2. If you are replacing a cartridge, remove the old one by pulling it
straight up.
3. Load model and support cartridges into their respective compartments
(see figure 7‐4).

You should feel some resistance, as a needle pierces the cartridge.
The printer uses RFID technology to automatically identify the material
cartridges. For this purpose, an RFID module is part of the printer hardware.
Tampering with this module will render the printer inoperable and may void
Objet warranties and service contracts.
