Abstract
Methods of curing a photo-curable material, photo-curing devices, apparatuses for curing a photo-curable material, and methods of forming a photo-curing device are disclosed. A method of curing a photo-curable material may include placing a photo-curing device having a magnetic body adjacent to the photo-curable material and controlling movement of the photo-curing device with at least one magnet. A photo-curing device may include a magnetic body and at least one light source positioned at one or more locations on the magnetic body and configured to emit electromagnetic radiation. The magnetic body may be configured to be movable adjacent to a photo-curable material by at least one magnet.
