If you have cured a resin 3d print before, you may have noticed that some resins take longer to cure than others, and they also react differently in various curing stations. Most of the commercially available devices just blast the part with broad spectrum UV and don't care for how much energy they are using. In some extreme cases this energy builds up heat inside the 3d printed part that can lead to cracking. Clem is hunting for the big question! Is there a perfect spectrum and intensity for each Resin to get the fastest curing time with the least amount of energy? Which spectrum exactly is responsible for the curing, and can we cut energy bills by just omitting all the spectrums that don't help the process? To find out, Clem constructs a curing station with Würth high precision UV leds and Magi³C Led Drivers!
