Curing enables prints to reach their optimal material properties. This means that the strength and stability of each print will be maximized. The Form Cure uses heat and 405 nm light to cure the print, this light is the same wavelength as the laser that the Form 2 has.

Using the Form Cure to cure the print is the final step of the printing process. Before placing the print in the Cure, the print needs to be completely dry after having exited the Wash. Once the print is dry, it may placed it inside of the Cure. To do this, lift the lid, place the print on circular silver grate, and close the lid once finished. The knob next to the screen can be used to scroll and click. Choose the appropriate time and temperature for the resin of the print. Times and temperatures vary with each resin. Each resin has its own recommended setting. Over-curing is always better than under-curing. Bulky or thick parts will require more cure time than small or thin parts.

The recommended setting can be found at [https://support.formlabs.com/s/article/Form-Cure-Time-and-Temperature-Settings?language=en_US Form Cure Time and Temperature Settings] towards the bottom of the page under Form Cure Settings. Make sure the correct Material and Version are chosen so that the proper graph and settings are displayed for your print.<br \><br \><br \><br \><br \>
