UV curing can be and is being done on complex, 3-dimensional parts once thought impossible, including automotive lighting assemblies, plastic molded parts such as mobile phone cases and other teletronic devices, contoured wood products, golf balls, electric motor housings and fiberglass composite parts.

UV curing of complex shaped parts can be a challenge because UV curing is "line-of-sight", meaning that every point on a surface must see the UV to cure the coating. Hidden or shadow areas will remain uncured. Fusion has worked extensively on 3D curing projects and hopes this information will help you decide whether UV curing is right for your 3-D product or part. We've made great strides on a wide variety of products previously thought impossible. Just click on the links below to learn more or give us a call at 301-527-2660.
