  "id": "MLC-T-ADM-000090",
  "term": "Cure temperature",
  "field": "Additive manufacturing and 3D printing",
  "definition": "The specific temperature at which a photopolymer resin or other thermosetting material must be held to achieve complete polymerization or cross-linking. This post-processing step solidifies the material, enhancing its mechanical properties, stability, and final form after the initial printing is complete. For standard SLA resins, post-curing temperatures are in the range of 60 to 80 degrees Celsius, applied for a set duration in a UV curing chamber.",
