    The Stratasys ProLight is a large-format 3D printing post-cure chamber. Post-curing printed parts in the Stratasys ProLight strengthens them with heat and 450 nm light and brings them to their optimal mechanical properties. Post-curing is also a required step in workflows using Stratasys dental or medical resins to make biocompatible parts.
