PCA 4000
The PCA 4000 Parts Curing Apparatus is the ideal solution for
post-curing parts that have been 3D printed using cDLM or DLP
technologies. The PCA 4000 utilizes a unique system of UV LED
light sources that use both 365 nm to deep cure and 405 nm for the
perfect surface cure of each part. It has a microprocessor-controlled
touchscreen interface and intuitive software that allows you to control
every aspect of the post-processing 3D printed models. With 360°
irradiation and controlled heating, the PCA 4000 can optimize your
productivity.
Applicable Printers: All cDLM and DLP printer series

Environmental Conditions

Curing
Situate the PCA 4000 in a ventilated area away from sources of heat
chamber lid
and away from flammable materials and liquids that may cause a
safety risk - see Safety Instructions p. 4.
Keep the PCA 4000 at least 8 inches / 20 cm from the wall. To avoid
damaging the apparatus, do not obstruct in any way the cooling
ducts, their openings to the outside, the fans on the rear panel,
and fan on the base of the PCA 4000. Keep the PCA 4000 in an
environment with temperatures within 65° to 82° F / 18° to 28° C.
