Wicked Engineering, LLC was founded in 2016 by owner and President Paul McGarr. Our primary focus is our CUREbox UV post-curing chamber. CUREbox was born out of necessity, but quickly became our passion. Wicked Engineering, LLC was, and still is, a product development company. Paul spent twenty plus years as a research and development engineer for the biotech industry.
He applies the knowledge he accumulated during that time to product development projects that we take on. One such project was an internal one that unintentionally led to the CUREbox product. In 2016 desktop stereolithography (SLA) was just getting started, thanks to Formlabs who had just released their Form desktop 3D printer. We were quick to order one to use for prototyping our designs, but immediately after ordering we realized there was something missing.
There were no proper UV post-curing devices available at a price point that made sense for the young and still emerging industry. What started as an internal project to build ourselves a post-curing unit to use with our new 3D printer, turned into a business opportunity and the rest is history.

Services
Those who demand the most from their 3D printed parts understand the importance of post-curing.
Properly cured 3D printed parts have mechanical properties far superior to those that are improperly cured.
Proper post-curing requires precision equipment with a specific wavelength and intensity light source, time control, and temperature control.
Anything less is just not good enough.
Unfortunately, post-curing equipment with these capabilities is simply not available at a price even the most demanding consumers are willing to pay.

This is a common question.
You're probably here for a reason.
If your printer uses SLA (stereolithography) technology, whether laser or DLP type, the answer is probably yes.
Common printers of this type are Formlabs' Form, SprintRay's MoonRay, Autodesk's Ember, Kudo 3D's Titan, and B9 Creations' B9 Creator.
Post-curing is recommended for most resins and required for some.
The short answer is yes, CUREbox supports virtually all of the photosensitive resins on the market.
If you are a resin manufacturer and would like your product listed here, just let us know.

The dental market is an ideal environment for 3D printing as there is so much customization that needs to go into prosthodontic and orthodontic devices.
Each person's mouth and teeth are unique, thus making each prosthodontic device unique and customized.
3D printing allows for customization on the spot without the need for costly and long lead time molds.
In order to ensure the highest quality 3D printed prosthodontic and orthodontic devices, you need to make sure you post-cure them.

Whether making a prototype for sizing, creating a master pattern/mold for higher volume jewelry designs or making an investment casting mold, 3D printing can be a valuable resource in the jewelry business.
Properly cured models burn-out cleaner, resulting in less porosity and imperfections in molds.
This means less time spent polishing your castings and less rework due to imperfections.
