Form Cure (2nd Generation) offers blazing fast curing — general purpose resins in just 60 seconds or engineering resins in less than 15 minutes — saving 2x-8.6x the time versus curing with Form Cure (1st Generation). Plus, Form Cure (2nd Generation) heats to 60 °C in just 60 seconds*, saving valuable workflow time.

*Based on the 230 V version. The 120 V version will heat to 60 °C in 80 seconds.

Form Cure (2nd Generation) delivers consistent results for Formlabs resins with pre-programmed and validated cure settings. Simply select the resin and start the cycle. For curing third-party materials printed with Open Material Mode (OMM), it’s possible to save custom profiles for the resins you regularly print, or set the time via the dial.

The new Form Cure (2nd Generation) design features a 48-LED array and convective heating system to ensure uniform UV and heat exposure, delivering 14.5 mW/cm² irradiance and a maximum temperature of 100 °C. The larger size is designed to fit any part printed on Form 4, while a side-hinged door allows easy access within a compact footprint. The 235 mm turntable inside is glass, for easy cleaning.

Additional settings are available for tough and durable resins. These resins are more susceptible to warping during post-curing, particularly for certain geometries. The optional “low warp” setting for Tough 1500 Resin V1.1 and Tough 2000 Resin cures without heat, reducing the chance of warping. However, curing without heat will lower the mechanical properties that can be achieved. To compare the mechanical properties of each cure setting, refer to the technical data sheet (TDS) for each material.

Form Cure (2nd Generation) is compatible with Form 4/B, Form 3/B/+, and Form 2 and replaces both Form Cure and Fast Cure in our ecosystem.
