00:03

Netfabb provides multiple options for you to tailor your machine workspace.

00:08

You can start with the default workspace settings and adjust various attributes,

00:13

or you can load a preconfigured machine workspace.

00:16

In the Netfabb project open in this example,

00:19

the My Machines pane indicates that there are no machines currently configured,

00:24

and the viewport displays the default machine workspace, with an orange platform.

00:30

To adjust this workspace, such as changing its size,

00:34

expand the Settings drop-down and select Settings.

00:38

In the Settings dialog, set the Default buildroom size to 300 by 300 by 250 mm.

00:48

Click Save, and the platform updates to the larger size.

00:54

Alternatively, you can load a preconfigured machine workspace.

00:60

In the My Machines pane, click No machines configured.

01:05

Then, in the My Machines dialog, click Add Machine.

01:10

Select an option, such as One Click Metal > MPRINT, and then click Add to My Machines.

01:18

The MPRINT machine now displays in the My Machines dialog.

01:24

Click Open to load the custom machine workspace in the viewport.

01:30

Here, the notifications about loading workspace definitions can be cleared by clicking Clear Warnings.

01:37
