Your time matters. With the release of Form 4 and Form 4L, we dramatically sped up stereolithography (SLA) 3D printing. Now, with the release of Form Cure L V2, we’re cutting down the time it takes to post-cure by up to 6x, so you can achieve peak mechanical properties in record time.
Blazing fast curing is now available for even the biggest parts. The new Form Cure L can fit any part printed on Form 4L, and post-cures most parts in 60 seconds, for fast, streamlined post-processing in a sleek, compact design.
Blazing Fast Curing of Large Parts With Form Cure L
The end-to-end Form 4L ecosystem includes Form Wash L and Form Cure L.
Post-curing is a key element of the SLA post-processing workflow. For many resin types, it is essential to achieve dimensional accuracy and peak mechanical properties. For biocompatible materials, post-curing is necessary to achieve the safety standards determined by regulatory agencies. Form Cure L has been redesigned with 5x more UV power to deliver prints with unprecedented speed and consistency.
“The Cure L V2 is the upgrade we have been waiting for to add to our current Formlabs ecosystem. The massive advancements introduced in the 4L almost require the Cure L V2 to maintain the impressive large part throughput.”
Ellis Waldman, American Additive Manufacturing
Form Cure L precisely combines heat and 405 nm light with validated presets for 45+ Formlabs materials. Post-cure general purpose resins in just 60 seconds and most engineering resins in less than 15 minutes. Plus, preheating takes just 150 seconds to reach 60 °C.* Advanced users can customize the time and temperature to fit their specific needs.
*230 V version
| Resin | Time in Form Cure L V1 | Time in Form Cure L V2 | Time Savings |
|---|---|---|---|
| General Purpose Resins | 5 min | 1 min | 80% |
| Tough 2000 Resin | 60 min | 12 min | 80% |
| High Temp Resin | 120 min | 15 min | 87% |
| Elastic 50A Resin | 40 min | 7 min | 82.5% |
“The Cure L V2 has significantly improved the quality and efficiency of our post-processing. This allows us to deliver the parts to the shipping agency on time and have them ready for the customer the next day.”
Andres Moreno Rodriguez, Zefrict AM
The sleek new design reduces overall footprint by 26% from the previous generation while curing up to 19% larger parts. Cure parts up to 353 x 196 x 365 mm on a 404 mm glass turntable accessed via a side-hinged door.
Shortening Delivery Time at Radio Flyer
“We were shocked by how fast the cure times were across all materials, even the engineering resins, which allowed us to work faster and get finished parts to our engineers in less time.”
Agostino Lobello, Product Development Engineer, Radio Flyer
Radio Flyer makes products for families, from their iconic wagon to bicycles and scooters. Prototypes and road show parts printed on Form 4L are large and thin, intended for eventual injection molding.
“The biggest benefit has to be the reduced warp and the better dimensional accuracy that we see out of Form Cure L, which saves us time getting mating assemblies to come together.”
Agostino Lobello, Product Development Engineer, Radio Flyer
Form Cure L helps Radio Flyer print accurate prototypes in less time, including parts for a scooter.
For functional prototypes of wheeled scooters, wagons, and bikes, parts that fit the first time are necessary. Additional time savings come from the technological advances of Form Cure L. Lobello calls out the fan and decreased cure times for those, “hey, I need this now” moments.
Presets for materials including Fast Model Resin, the Tough Resins Family, and Color Resin ensure there’s a clear process — no troubleshooting needed — for consistent, presentation-ready parts.
Speed Up Post-Processing and Finishing
Formlabs is dedicated to making the end-to-end SLA 3D printing workflow easy and intuitive while empowering users with the tools that make it possible to bring ideas to life. With the release of Form Cure L, users can reduce post-processing time, achieving peak mechanical performance with efficiency.
