English term or phrase: UV curing unit
Hi everyone!

I'm currently working on the translation of a manual for a 3D printer, and I'd like to make sure I'm using the right term for "UV curing unit" as I've found various translations for it. So far, I've been going with "unité de polymérisation par UV".

Here is some context for your reference:

The UV curing unit may use water as a way to cool the system or remove heat.

Any suggestion or thought would be much appreciated :)

Thanks!

unité de durcissement par rayonnement UV
Explanation:
In a printing industry context séchage would be appropriate, but here we are in a 3D printing context where the polymer is hardened layer by layer to build up the part being printed. Durcissement is the right term

I don't remember exactly who came first with the idea, but I think I just confirmed Florence proposition. So logically the points should go to her.
