Resin Curing Resin curing is the process of solidifying photopolymer resin using UV light, layer by layer, in SLA and DLP 3D printing. Proper curing ensures strength, stability, and chemical resistance. Post-curing under UV light further hardens the resin, enhancing mechanical properties and preventing deformation. Different resins require specific wavelengths and exposure times. Improper curing leads to tacky surfaces, brittleness, or dimensional inaccuracies. Proper resin curing ensures high resolution, smooth surfaces, and consistent quality for functional prototypes, dental models, and artistic prints. |
