Post-Curing Parts
Parts printed on the MAX will not be fully cured initially and will consequently lack their full
strength. Full strength is attained when the parts are fully cured. This can be achieved by
exposing the parts to ultraviolet light.
An ultraviolet Flash unit is included with your MAX. The Flash unit will be either 110V AC or
220V AC depending on your region. CHECK THE VOLTATE REQUIREMENTS OF YOUR
FLASH UNIT BEFORE USE AND VERIFY YOU ARE CONECTING THE CORRECT
VOLTAGE.
Turn on the UV unit and place the parts inside the chamber. Full strength is usually
obtained in between 5 and 30 minutes.
The parts may still be tacky on the surface due to atmospheric oxygen inhibiting the photo-
curing reaction. Full surface cure can be obtained by immersing the parts in a liquid to
displace the oxygen and irradiating the immersed parts. Suitable liquids include oil, water
and glycerol.
