1. A system comprising:
magnetic assemblies to create a first magnetic field,
wherein the magnetic assemblies include:
a first magnetic assembly that includes a north pole and a south pole, and
a second magnetic assembly;
a source to generate a beam that cures a region of a substrate by moving the beam back-and-forth across the region while the substrate is on a path associated with the magnetic assemblies; and
a magnet that is downstream from the magnetic assemblies and the source and is to create a second magnetic field that is different from the first magnetic field.
