Meaning
The display shows status, time, temperature, and options for
configuring the Form Cure L.
A flat, flexible cable connects the display assembly to
the motherboard.
The hinged door allows access to the Form Cure L turntable.
Double walls insulate the cure chamber and internal surfaces
reflect light.
The Form Cure L can connect to a network via Ethernet. The
port is connected to the motherboard and can be accessed
from the back of the machine.
There are seven fans in the Form Cure L. Two fans blow hot
air from the heater modules into the post-cure chamber. One
fan exhausts air from the post-cure chamber. Four fans bring
in outside air to cool the LEDs and other electronics.
Two 500 W heater modules heat the chamber up to 176 °F /
80 °C.
The interlock sensor detects these magnets to determine
when the door is closed. This safety mechanism disables the
heater, LEDs, and turntable when the door is open.
45 multi-directional LEDs (15 375 nm-LEDs, 15 405 nm-LEDs,
15 white LEDs) help to post-cure parts and illuminate the
turntable. The LEDs are contained in three LED modules: one
on the top of the post-cure chamber, one on the left, and one
beneath the turntable.
Diffusers on each LED module ensure that the parts in the
post-cure chamber are evenly bathed in light.
The motherboard is the main circuitry through which all
systems in the Form Cure L communicate.
The motor assembly rotates the turntable during the
post-cure cycle.
The main chamber of the Form Cure L, where parts are
placed to be post-cured with light and heat.
Provides power to the Form Cure L.
A rotating plate ensures balanced post-curing across all
exposed part surfaces. The turntable is made of glass,
allowing light to reach all surfaces of printed parts in the Form
Cure L.
The Form Cure L can connect to a computer via USB. The
port is connected to the motherboard and can be accessed
from the back of the machine.
The Wi-Fi antenna enables the machine's
wireless connectivity.
