Anyone have any experience with Asiga's Cure system?

[McTechnician]

Our lab is looking at expanding our 3D printing side of things a little and I was curious if anyone has any experience with the Asiga cure machine either the cure 1.5 or cure 2.5 is what we are looking at. We are particularly interested in the IR heating and and Nitrogen capabilities. Anyone have any headaches with these machines or rave reviews? Our main concern is the chamber sizing being on the smaller side. Also any insight on curing times would be great.

I will have one next week and I can tell you about it . I am getting the 2.5l one.The machine has everything you could want , 360 degree curing, vacuum pump built in , heating , radiometer sensing , connections for external pump and nitrogen and others. I saw the prototype a while back originally as I'm am not far from ASIGA factory in Australia and know them well. It will become the industry standard for biocompatible resins I believe as it really has everthing . If you are just doing models pretty much any decent unit will do..bigger the better. We have various light curing units but specifically we want this for biocompatible resins.

Just at seminar and Corey recommends labs not getting the 2.5l one. It has smaller footprint to cure models due to the way the walls angle down. 2.5 is for non dental post curing. You will fit more models niteguards or bases on 1.5. and its cheaper.

Same, we are starting to use more biocompatible resins as well as just looking for an upgrade/additional unit. We are decently interested in the IR heating, hoping it'll result in a more uniform cure through solid models. We just found out from our formlabs rep though that their cure machines have an option to retrofit for noble gasses that they just don't advertise openly. Would be a cheaper but more labor intensive option for our needs.

Hi Harry,
can you please give us an update on how you are finding the Asiga Cure?

Hi, have just purchased and started using the 1.5 Cure. So far cured try-ins (13mins) and one DentaBASE with DentaTOOTH partial (140mins)
The settings on the programs state the Try-in should take 10mins and the DentaBASE/TEETH 80mins but I have found this to differ. I am considering adding an external pump to speed this part of the process up,
Aside from that, I love the unit. Within minutes I was curing as set and collaboration with the Asiga Max was easy. TH etouch free door open/close is nice, keeps sticky fingers off the LCD screen. The unit can be used through Asiga composer, same as the printing so that also keeps fingers away. So far very happy with the purchase. Next step - addition of Vacuum pump and or Nitrogen

I don't have any experience with Asiga curing units per say, but I have used nitrogen curing for my AoX cases for the past 6 years. I currently use an otoflash with nitrogen for my onxx tough prints for immediate load and it was a game changer for speed for us.
I can tell you coming from the glycerin bath or oxygen inhibitor and a 10 minute cure, too a 800 flash (2minutes i believe) was a no brainer.
We only use the nitrogen for our onx temps and immediate loads, so no experience with model curing in this fashion.
I recently just discovered the Xfinity nitrogen generator and will be adding this onto my otoflash units as well as my dreve curing units.
I'm so tired of dealing with nitrogen tanks and changes.
