Post-Curing Tips

  • Printed part may be cured in a cool, non-flammable liquid if the part is getting too hot during curing.
  • Part can be inspected for color – A yellowish color indicates the part is under-cured. Consider the photo below of a part printed with Figure 4 TOUGH-GRY 15, where the part on the left has not been cured at all, the middle part has been cured for only five minutes, and the part on the right has been fully cured for the recommended 90 minutes.
