About
Some FormLabs Resins used in the Form 2 3D printer can benefit from post process curing. Each resin has a specific hardening curve which can be found within the reference material which will indicate the ideal time and temperature to be set on the FormCure.
Detailed Specifications
- Max cure temp: 80 degrees C
- Light: 39W total drawn by 13 405 nm LEDs
Safety Concerns
- Allow at least half an hour for IPA to evaporate before placing part in Form Cure
- Allow time for the Form Cure to cool off before removing parts
- Do not operate form cure with lid open
Operating Procedures
- Any part to be cured needs to be washed in the FormWash with IPA BEFORE being placed in the form cure. Supports can be removed before or after curing process.
- Wait 30 minutes after washing to allow all remaining IPA to evaporate
- Check the reference material for selected resin to determine ideal time and temperature for curing
- Use the dial on the front of the FormCure to set time and temperature
