SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the challenges of curing SLA photosensitive resin using a desktop UV lamp, specifically addressing the issue of warping in thin sheets measuring 10cm square and 1-2mm thick. Users suggest potential solutions, including the use of heat sinks to maintain flatness during the curing process. The conversation emphasizes the importance of uniform UV exposure to prevent deformation of the resin. Overall, achieving optimal curing conditions is crucial for successful resin applications in medical physics.

Hey guys,
Doing some research in medical physics and for testing purposes I am tryin to set SLA photosensitive resin with just a desktop lamp .. It sets fine but the problem is it warps and I'd like to set a thin sheet like 10cm square and about 1-2mm thick and keep it flat.

Any brilliant ideas ?
