platform

English Medical Medical: Dentistry postcuring

Place the platform on some paper or cloth with the builded jobs facing upwards. The printed jobs can now be removed from the platform using a putty knife. Rinse the printed jobs twice in an alcohol solution (96%) to get rid of any excess material, making use of an ultrasonic bath. Rinse the first time for three minutes, second time for two minutes. The second rinse must be carried out with a clean alcohol solution (96%). Rinsing in alcohol solution should not take longer than 5 minutes as this will cause defects in the printed part. After cleaning make sure the printed part is dry and free of alcohol residue. Then place the printed jobs in a UV- light curing box for final polymerization. Time of curing depends strongly on type of lamps/ lightbox used.
