If the material is clear, translucent, or thin, that should work. Curing the interior of opaque materials may not work.

FormLabs admits that post-curing may be necessary.[1] But they don't sell a curing chamber. High-power UV curing chambers are not cheap.[2] Some people have reported success using cheap UV sterilizers, but that's going to depend on how thick your parts are. Nail polish curing UV devices are too weak. Real curing chambers look like a microwave oven, with door interlocks and a turntable.
