MeccatroniCore, a startup based in Trentino, Italy, was founded in 2013 with the goal of becoming a point of reference in the world of prototyping and 3D printing. In a short time, MeccatroniCore entered the Industrio ventures acceleration program and launches its own lines of 3D printers for professional and semi-professional use on the market. Additionally MeccatroniCore also developed professional UV post-curing units and resin mixers. Engineers at Liqcreate had a chance to test the MeccatroniCore BB-Midi Plus post-curing unit in combination with Liqcreate resins.

About the MeccatroniCore BB-Midi Plus UV-curing unit.
It can be adapted to any type of resin, even the most delicate and subject to yellowing. Quietly set the desired power value, the processor will check the emitted irradiation 10 times per second, respecting the characteristics of each photo-polymer. Triple Frequency technology can polymerize a wide range of different types of resins: from standard to more technical ones, used in the related professional fields. The wide band of use covers practically the entire range of UV polymers, including most of the composites specifically dedicated to the dental field, and processed with traditional methods (not 3D). The exclusive Omni 360 ° technology irradiates your objects from all sides, even the support one. The 6 radiating faces in fact allow effective UV exposure without rotation of the object and without moving parts that can wear out.
