Formlabs Form Cure (2nd Generation)

Fast, validated post-curing that unlocks peak strength, stiffness, heat resistance, and a harder, less tacky surface — with many general-purpose resins curing in as little as 60 seconds.

Formlabs Form Cure (2nd Generation)
405 nm + heat curing
48 LEDs uniform exposure
Up to 100 °C chamber temp
Many cures in 60 sec

Post-cure in minutes, not hours

Form Cure (2nd Gen) precisely combines heat with 405 nm light to deliver consistent, validated results — helping parts reach their intended mechanical properties with minimal guesswork.


Speed highlight: Post-cure many general-purpose resins in just 60 seconds, and many engineering resins in under 15 minutes.

Consistency highlight: 48 multi-directional LEDs + convective heating deliver uniform UV and heat exposure, targeting repeatable outcomes.

Capacity highlight: Built to fit large Form 4 parts, with a 235 mm rotating glass turntable and up to 245 mm part height.

  • Unlock target material properties (strength, stiffness, heat resistance, creep resistance)
  • Reduce variability with validated presets and controlled temperature
  • Simple operation: load part, choose preset, start cycle
  • Glass turntable for easy cleaning
  • Custom time/temperature options for advanced workflows

Blazing Fast Curing

Cure most parts in 60 seconds

Fast UV output and near-instant heat-up help you move from wash to finished parts quickly — especially valuable when iterating designs or turning around small production batches.

  • General-purpose resins: as little as 60 seconds
  • Engineering resins: typically 3–15 minutes
  • Heat to 60 °C in about 60 seconds (230V conditions)

Consistent, Validated Results

Uniform UV + heat exposure

A 48-LED array and convective heating system work together to maintain even exposure and controlled temperature for repeatable curing outcomes across the chamber.

  • Light source: 48 multi-directional LEDs at 405 nm
  • Uniform irradiance: up to 14.5 mW/cm²
  • Maximum chamber temperature: 100 °C

Fit Large Form 4 Parts

Designed for full-size builds

Built to accommodate large prints, so you can cure full-size parts without awkward repositioning or inconsistent exposure.

  • Maximum part size (approx.): 200 × 125 × 245 mm
  • Rotating turntable: 235 mm diameter (glass)

Easier Than Ever

Simple presets, simple cleanup

Choose a pre-programmed cycle for your material, or customize time and temperature for advanced needs. A side-hinged door and glass turntable make handling and cleanup quick.

  • Validated presets for 45+ Formlabs materials
  • Custom controls for time and temperature
  • Glass turntable for easy cleaning

Materials + Workflow

Post-curing is the final step that helps parts reach their intended mechanical performance. After washing and drying, cure using the validated preset for your resin, or adjust settings to suit your workflow.

From wash to finished part

  • Wash: Clean parts after printing using IPA or compatible alternatives.
  • Dry: Allow parts to dry before curing.
  • Cure: Select your resin’s preset (or a custom cycle) and start curing.
  • Use: Parts are ready for functional testing, fit checks, or end-use applications depending on resin.

Recommended pairing

  • Form Wash: Automated cleaning for consistent results
  • Form Cure: Validated heat + 405 nm curing to reach target properties
  • Extra turntable / accessories: For high-throughput workflows

Who It’s For

Engineering + Product Teams

  • Achieve repeatable properties for functional testing
  • Reduce variability between users and batches

Ideal when your resin prints need to behave like real parts — not just look like them.

Rapid Prototyping

  • Fast turnarounds from print to test
  • Reliable curing without manual trial-and-error

When you need more design cycles per week and predictable outcomes.

Labs + Shared Environments

  • Validated presets reduce training time
  • Consistent results across many operators

A strong fit for teams that want a dependable, repeatable post-processing step.

FAQ

1) Why do I need to post-cure resin prints?

Post-curing completes the chemical reaction started during printing, improving strength and stiffness, increasing heat and creep resistance, and leaving a harder, less tacky surface.

2) How fast is the Form Cure (2nd Gen)?

Many general-purpose resins can cure in about 60 seconds, while engineering resins often cure in the 3–15 minute range depending on the material preset.

3) Is it hard to use?

It’s designed to be simple: place the part on the turntable, select a validated preset for your resin, and start the cycle. Advanced users can customize time and temperature.

4) Will it fit my large prints?

Form Cure (2nd Gen) is designed to fit large Form 4 parts, with a 235 mm turntable and up to 245 mm part height.

5) What’s the easiest way to choose the right setup?

Tell us what you’re printing, your resin/material needs, and throughput goals. We’ll recommend the most practical wash + cure workflow for your environment.
