Overview

ProCure 1 includes predefined curing profiles for most SprintRay resins. However, if you are working with a resin that is not preloaded or if your workflow requires specific curing parameters, you can create and run a custom curing profile. This article explains how to create and use a custom curing cycle.

Setting Curing Time & Temperature

To properly cure a part, broad-spectrum light must penetrate the deepest and thickest sections of the print. Many 3D printing resins reach near-maximum strength at approximately 15 minutes of curing time on the ProCure. Some materials require longer exposure, while others may show diminishing returns after about 10 minutes.

Higher curing temperatures promote improved cross-linking and stronger final parts. Internal studies show that many resins achieve optimal strength between 30°C and 60°C. However, recommended temperatures vary by material.

If temperature information is not provided and you prefer a conservative approach, set the temperature to 0°C to disable additional heating.

Always consult the Instructions for Use (IFU) or Workflow Guide to determine the recommended curing settings.
