The average person’s experience with an ultraviolet (UV) wand is getting a cavity at the dentist. However, anyone with a resin-based 3d printer knows how important a UV curing system is. Often times ...

Published intensity values don’t always reflect real curing performance. Working distance, emitter design, and uniformity can ...

As a technology, LED-UV curing for offset printing is slowly, incrementally gaining favor as a method for curing — using intense UV light of a specific wavelength. As one choice among others, it is a ...

Contrary to popular belief, the idea of curing inks with UV energy has been around for a long time. In fact, Sun Chemical, an early proponent of the technology, has patents on it dating back to 1946.

UV DTF printing blends the flexibility of direct-to-film with the durability of UV inks, producing vibrant, long-lasting transfers on diverse surfaces. Success depends on the right equipment, precise ...

Whenever there is a need for curing and drying of coatings, inks and adhesives, UV curing is used. This use of UVs has eliminated the need for ratio mixing, solvent removal and potential life concern ...

Ultraviolet-curable resins were introduced in the 1960s. But their use in composites was eventually abandoned in favor of heat-curing materials because of the latter’s ability to form thick-walled ...

Resin printers have a lot going for them – particularly in regards to quality surface finishes and excellent reproduction of fine details. However, the vast majority rely on UV light to cure prints.

Organic adhesives usually contain solvents and various diluents or are composed of two components which must be carefully weighed and mixed prior to use. After these adhesives are applied, it takes ...

The electronics industry faces skyrocketing demand for both efficiency and device quality. Meeting these requirements can be challenging, but embracing advanced, less conventional workflows makes it ...

High speed dielectric cure monitoring (DEA) has the singular capacity to assess cure in real-time under real process conditions. Such monitoring is beneficial for the study of materials that ...
