How does the Zortrax Curing Station work?
UV curing is a post-processing step required by nearly all leading resin manufacturers to
achieve desired mechanical and thermal properties of their 3D printing materials. To gu-
arantee consistent results it has to be performed in controlled conditions. Zortrax Curing
Station provides additional UV curing of parts made in all resin 3D printing technologies.
The curing chamber in Zortrax Curing Station ensures all surfaces of a resin 3D model
get consistent UV exposure. The chamber’s wall are made with 304 stainless steel sheet
polished up to the EN 10088-2 2P standard which acts as a mirror, reflecting UV light at
all sides of the model. Consistency of exposure is further enhanced by a rotating table on
which the parts are placed. This makes the models free of weak spots caused by insuffi-
cient UV exposure.
The Zortrax Curing Station has multiple systems ensuring safety of its operators. The
post- -processing device detects when the curing chamber door is open and immediately
turns off the UV lamps to prevent harmful UV irradiation. During the curing process all
UV radiation is stopped by a filter built in the front glass panel. Finally, a separate system
prevents the UV LEDs from overheating.
The Zortrax Curing Station is a standalone device that can complement all UV LCD, SLA, or
DLP resin 3D printers available on the market. It has a large workspace that enables cu-
ring of sizable 3D prints made on industrial machines. There aren’t any design or software
features that lock a user into one particular 3D printing ecosystem.
