element14 presents | Multi-Spectrum UV Resin Curing Station with Würth Elektronik LEDs @element14presents | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 21 hours ago
If you've 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 curing devices just blast the part with broad spectrum UV with no regard for how much energy they're using. In some extreme cases, this energy builds up heat inside the 3D printed part that can lead to cracking.
So Clem is asking 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 is responsible for the curing, and can we cut energy bills by just omitting all the spectra that don't help this process? To find out, Clem constructs a curing station using Würth Elektronik high-precision UV LEDs and Magi³C LED drivers! bit.ly/3Ut914Z
The results were not finished during the filming of the video, so Clem has made a writeup about his findings on the element14 Community: bit.ly/3Ut914Z
You can also download all the CAD, ECAD, and code for this project for free on the element14 Community: bit.ly/3Ut914Z
