This is an overview of the machine. Overviews are great, they are like views that go over things. The main reason this is here is so that the table of contents does't end up in a weird spot. In the future this will have a nice description of the F370.
Here is more filler text. And some more.

Using GrabCAD
GrabCAD Print is the software shared by the F370 and Dimension printer. It allows one to easily orient and view the part that needs to be printed. Both printers are web based, which allows one to start the print from the one of the lab's computers.
On Opening GrabCAD, make sure that you select the printer you want to use for the part you want to print; in this case, the F370, which will appear as "f370D30365". The volunteers in the lab can help you determine which printer would work best. The menu the the right of the image shows the printer options, make sure you select the correct printer, in this case it is the Dimension. After ensuring you have the software correctly set up, open your file and place it on the build plate, Note: your file has to be in STL format to work with any printing software. The build plate is correctly scaled to the actual build plate, so when sizing up or down you can check the size and placement of the print with the build plate.
