UV Post-Cure Calculator

Estimate post-cure time in a wash-and-cure station from part thickness, resin type, UV intensity, wavelength match and rotation. Flags under-powered stations and over-cure brittleness.

Inputs

resin_typeenumResin Type
default "standard" · one of: standard, tough, abs_like, flexible, dental, castable, water_washable
Pick the closest match. Each maps to a typical full-cure dose target.
part_max_thickness_mmRequirednumber (mm)Part Max Thickness
required · min 0.5 · max 100 · default 5
Thickest cross-section through the part.
uv_power_density_mw_cm2Requirednumber (mW/cm²)Station UV Density
required · min 1 · max 100 · default 7
Anycubic Wash & Cure 3 ~7, Elegoo Mercury XS ~15, DIY UV nail lamp 1-3.
wavelength_matchenumWavelength Match
default "exact" · one of: exact, near, mismatch
Exact: resin 405 nm + station 405 nm. Near: 385↔405. Mismatch: 365↔405 (poor).
is_rotatingbooleanRotating Platform
default true
Most stations rotate. Without rotation, flip the part halfway.
