Description
Zortrax Curing Station has been designed to provide necessary UV curing for models 3D printed on a resin 3D printer. UV exposure time is set individually for each supported resin but usually does not exceed a few minutes. It’s dedicated to post-process even the most professional and demanding resins (quality approved by BASF Forward AM and Henkel/Loctite).
Supports most popular resin 3D printing technologies: UV LCD, DLP, and SLA
The curing process is fully automated
Post-processing takes place in a controlled and safe environment to guarantee consistent results.
Soft close door with glass and a layer of UV filter
Together, the two layers ensure the user can safely watch the curing process with no UV radiation getting outside of the curing chamber. The device has a sensor which immediately shuts down the UV lamps when the door is open.
The curing chamber is made with metal sheets polished according to the class EN 10088-2 2P / ASTM No. 8 with mirror finish, which provide uniform UV exposure for the cured models. Consistency of exposure is further enhanced by a rotating table on which the parts being cured are placed. This way, the post-processed models are free of weak spots caused by insufficient UV exposure. A separate system prevents the UV LEDs from overheating.
Zortrax Curing Station was tested along with the Zortrax Inkspire 2 resin 3D printer in thorough validation procedures. In result, both are proven to achieve desired mechanical and thermal properties of chosen BASF Forward AM and Henkel materials when used together.
