 Curing enables prints to reach their optimal material properties. This means that the strength and stability of each print will be maximized. The Form Cure uses heat and 405 nm light to cure the print, this light is the same wavelength as the laser that the Form 2 has. Using the Form Cure to cure the print is the final step of the printing process.

-Each wash should be run an average of 10 minutes. This time can be changed based off of the size/structural density of the part, with larger or more complicated parts requiring longer to wash. Do not remove supports for the washing process. After washing, remove the print to let it air dry before running it through the Form Cure.
