A curing system for printing of 3D objects having one or more sources of curing radiation moveably attached to and flanking at least one side of an extrusion head and extrusion nozzle wherein the extrusion head and extrusion nozzle and the at least one source of curing radiation act in unison as a single unit wherein curing of deposited curable material is applied concurrently with or immediately following deposition of the curable material. La présente invention se rapporte à un système de durcissement qui permet d'imprimer des objets 3D, et qui a une ou plusieurs sources de rayonnement de durcissement fixées mobiles à au moins un côté d'une tête d'extrusion-buse d'extrusion et le bordant. La tête d'extrusion-buse d'extrusion et ladite source de rayonnement de durcissement agissent de concert comme une seule unité. Le durcissement du matériau durcissable déposé a lieu en même temps que le dépôt dudit matériau durcissable ou juste après.
