Warning and Information Labels
System Overview
The Origin Cure is a 3D printing post process UV Led curing chamber designed to be paired with the Stratasys Origin series 3D printers. The Origin Cure provides 360 degree curing by using mirrored panels with UV LEDs built into the side walls. The control and power unit are fully integrated into the unit. A full function touch screen HMI is included on the front of the unit for convenient control of all operations. The curing chamber door includes a safety feature which uses a magnetic lock which prevents the door from being opened when the unit is conducting a curing operation. The main parts of the Origin Cure are shown below.

Electrical Specifications
Main power supply (inlet): 100-240 VAC; 50/60 Hz, 20 Amp
Physical Description
The Origin Cure is a table-mounted, lab-grade device. The main assemblies are the body, the curing chamber, the touchscreen, and the power/data input panel.
Theory of Operation
The Origin Cure runs programmed curing recipes. The user places parts on a quartz tray in the curing chamber, closes the door, then selects the recipe to run. Recipes include varying ramp times and intensity levels for the three active UV wavelengths: 365nm, 385nm and 405nm. Once the recipe cycle is complete, the part is fully cured and the operator removes it from the chamber.
