The Phrozen Cure Mega "S" is a professional UV curing station designed for the post-processing of resin 3D prints. Its large interior chamber, 360° rotating platform and robust metal construction make it the most complete option for workshops and studios working with large-format or high-volume parts.

What it's used for
The Phrozen Cure Mega "S" is designed to complete the post-processing of photopolymer resin printed parts. After washing with isopropyl alcohol, parts require controlled UV exposure to achieve their final mechanical properties: hardness, strength and dimensional stability. This chamber covers that step uniformly and efficiently.
- Curing of large parts printed with large-format MSLA/DLP printers
- Simultaneous curing of multiple small or medium parts in a single session
- Professional post-processing of standard, ABS-Like, flexible and high-strength resins
- Use in design studios, industrial prototyping, jewellery, dentistry and special effects
- Direct complement for large-format printers such as the Phrozen Sonic MEGA 8K S
- Curing of technical resins such as Phrozen Aqua-Gray 8K or Resina M3DUSA Titan-Tech Grey
How to use it
- Make sure the printed part has been properly washed with 99.9% isopropyl alcohol and is completely dry before placing it in the chamber.
- Place the part on the rotating platform, centred to make the most of the light distribution.
- Close the chamber lid to prevent UV exposure to the surrounding environment.
- Set the curing time on the control panel according to the type and thickness of the resin (refer to the resin manufacturer's recommendations).
- Start the cycle. The platform will rotate continuously at 360° to ensure uniform exposure across the entire surface.
- Once finished, open the lid and remove the part wearing nitrile gloves. The part will be fully cured and ready to sand, paint or use.
Usage tips
Curing time by resin type
There is no universal curing time. Standard resins typically require between 2 and 6 minutes in the Cure Mega "S", while high-hardness technical resins may need longer cycles. Always run a test with a small part before curing full production runs. Over-curing can make the part more brittle (over-polymerisation), while under-curing leaves the surface tacky.
Make the most of the chamber capacity
The 350 × 300 mm platform allows multiple parts to be loaded in a single session. Spread them out leaving space between them so the light reaches all surfaces. For parts with complex geometries or deep recesses, consider running two short cycles, manually repositioning the part between them.
Maintenance and safety
Keep the chamber free of uncured resin residue on the platform and interior walls; accumulated residue can create shadow spots. Always work with the lid closed during curing to protect your eyes from UV radiation. Use nitrile gloves when handling freshly cured parts if the resin may still contain traces of monomer.
Frequently asked questions
What is the maximum part size I can cure?
The interior platform measures 350 × 300 mm, allowing large-format parts or several medium-sized parts to be cured simultaneously. The Phrozen Cure Mega "S" is particularly well suited as a complement to high-volume printers.
Is it compatible with any photopolymer resin?
Yes. The Cure Mega "S" is compatible with any 3D printing resin that cures under UV light (standard, ABS-Like, flexible, heat-resistant, dental resins, etc.), regardless of the manufacturer. You only need to adjust the exposure time according to each resin's recommendations.
Do I need to wash the part before curing it?
Yes, it is essential. Freshly printed parts have unpolymerised liquid resin on the surface. If you cure them without washing, that resin polymerises adhered to the part, leaving uneven finishes. Always wash with 99.9% isopropyl alcohol and allow to dry completely before placing the part in the chamber. For large volumes, the Phrozen Wash Mega S is the ideal complementary washing station.
How long does the curing process take?
It depends on the resin and the wall thickness of the part. Generally speaking, between 2 and 10 minutes is sufficient for most standard resins. Technical or high-hardness resins may require somewhat longer cycles. Always refer to the specifications of the resin manufacturer you are using.
Does the rotating platform guarantee uniform curing?
Yes. The continuous 360° rotation ensures that all faces of the part receive homogeneous UV exposure throughout the cycle. For parts with very complex geometries (deep cavities, overhangs), it may be useful to run two short cycles, manually repositioning the part between them.
Can I cure parts without removing the supports?
Yes you can, although it is common practice to remove supports before the final curing because cured resin is harder and more brittle, making removal without breaking the part more difficult. Remove supports after washing and before placing the part in the Cure Mega "S".
What happens if I cure the part for too long?
Over-polymerisation can make the part more brittle and prone to cracking, especially in thin areas. It can also cause warping in parts with thin walls. Respect the recommended times and adjust based on results.
Is it safe to use this chamber indoors?
Yes. The chamber is designed for indoor use with the lid closed, which prevents direct exposure to UV radiation. Always work with the lid closed during the cycle and use nitrile gloves when handling parts that may have traces of uncured resin.
