Post-curing is the extra light exposure applied to an SLA or resin-printed part after printing. The goal is to finish hardening the resin so the object becomes stronger, less sticky, and more dimensionally stable. Without it, a print may stay soft, warp, or release uncured resin that can contaminate tools and workspaces.
In cyber security, post-curing matters anywhere 3D prints are used for hardware testing, physical access experiments, or device enclosures. A poorly cured shell can crack, distort fit, or fail under handling, making a test rig unreliable and a defensive prototype misleading. Attackers and defenders both rely on fully cured parts when they need durable adapters, mounts, shims, or sensor housings that must survive inspection and use. In practice, post-curing is a small finishing step with a large impact on whether a printed object is safe, strong, and fit for physical security work.
