Complete Your 3D Printing Experience
- Print - During printing, light selectively cures a liquid resin to create the shape of your part.
- Wash - Automated washing in an agitated bath of solvent eliminates uncured resin for a flawless surface finish.
- Cure - Exposure to heat and 405 nm light finalizes part properties by completing the chemical reaction started during printing.
Fast, Clean SLA Post-Processing
Form Wash
Form Wash and Form Wash L provide thorough cleaning with powerful agitation to ensure residual resin is completely removed. After the preset wash cycle, the parts are automatically lifted from the bath to air dry.
Form Cure
Form Cure and Form Cure L use powerful LEDs, convective heating, and validated presets to achieve optimal mechanical properties with speed and precision.
Post-curing improves your part on a molecular level. 405 nm light initiates a reaction that cross-links the individual polymers, creating an interconnected, isotropic, and 100% dense final part.
- Higher strength and stiffness
- Higher surface hardness
- Higher toughness
- Higher temperature resistance
- Better creep resistance
