How we write

In this post, we explore a comprehensive collection of statistics on resin print curing times in the realm of 3D printing. From the average curing times of various resin 3D printers to the impact of UV light wavelength on curing efficiency, these statistics shed light on the intricate process of achieving optimal print quality and material properties. If you’re looking to enhance your understanding of resin print curing times and its implications for your printing projects, this compilation of data will provide valuable insights.

Statistic 1

"A typical resin 3D printer cures a layer in about 4 to 10 seconds."

Statistic 2

"Elegoo Mars resin 3D printers have an average curing time of 6 to 10 seconds."

Statistic 3

"Resin print curing times can be significantly reduced by strong UV light, specifically light with a wavelength of 405nm."

Statistic 4

"Post-curing under UV light for approximately 2 hours helps achieve maximum material properties and helps to ensure that every spot of the print is fully cured."

Statistic 5

"Anywhere from 60 to 100 seconds can be needed for curing time in resin 3D printing, according to a research by the City University of Hong Kong."

Statistic 6

"For the Form 3 printer, a layer of High Temp Resin prints in 18-19 seconds, while a layer of Castable Wax resin prints in 12-14 seconds."

Statistic 7

"Formlabs's Black, Grey, and White resins generally require a post-curing time of roughly 30 minutes."

Statistic 8

"Each 25-50mm layer of Phrozen’s Sonic Mini 4K resin 3D printer takes around 2 seconds to cure."

Statistic 9

"With a print speed of 1-5 cm (vertical) per hour, Phrozen Transform takes about 2-3 seconds to cure each layer."

Statistic 10

"Anycubic's photon mono prints with a layer curing time of only 1.5 seconds."

Statistic 11

"Peopoly’s standard resin needs a laser power of 58 and a curing time of 12 seconds."

Statistic 12

"Desktop machines have a curing time of 10-100 seconds per layer whereas industrial DLP printers have a curing time of a few seconds on average."

Statistic 13

"Each layer of a resin print on Anycubic Photon 3D Printer takes about 10 seconds to cure on average."

Statistic 14

"The Formlabs Castable Resin needs approximately 10 to 15 minutes of UV light post-cure."

Statistic 15

"The recommended total post-curing time for Dental LT Clear Resin by Formlabs is 30 minutes."

Statistic 16

"Creality's LD-002R cures a resin print layer in merely 1 to 4 seconds."

Statistic 17

"With Wanhao's D7, an average layer takes about 6 to 45 seconds to cure, depending on the resin used."

Statistic 18

"For Moai 200, the laser settings for Peopoly’s standard resin are 51 and curing time is 15 seconds."

Statistic 19

"An average layer in the Anycubic Photon S takes about 5-20 seconds to cure depending on the settings and resin used."

In conclusion, resin print curing times in 3D printing can vary significantly depending on the type of printer, resin used, and post-curing methods applied. Factors such as UV light intensity and wavelength play a crucial role in reducing curing times and achieving optimal material properties. From the statistics gathered, it is evident that curing times range from as low as 1.5 seconds for some models like Anycubic’s Photon Mono to longer durations of up to 100 seconds for certain resin prints. Post-curing under UV light is recommended for enhancing material properties and ensuring thorough curing, with suggested times varying from 10 minutes to 2 hours depending on the resin type. Industrial DLP printers generally exhibit faster curing times per layer compared to desktop machines, highlighting the importance of selecting the appropriate equipment and settings for efficient resin print curing.
