Abstract
In one aspect, build materials operable for use in 3D printing systems are described herein. In some embodiments, a build material comprises an oligomeric curable material, a reactive component that is solid at 25° C., and at least one diluent, wherein the reactive component comprises at least one chemical moiety that is polymerizable with a chemical moiety contained in the oligomeric curable material and/or the at least one diluent.
Claims48
A build material for use in a three-dimensional printing system comprising:
- an oligomeric curable material;
- a reactive component that is solid at about 25° C.;
- and
- at least one diluent,
- wherein the reactive component comprises at least one chemical moiety that is polymerizable with a chemical moiety contained in the oligomeric curable material and/or the at least one diluent.
2 more elements
A composition comprising:
- a three-dimensionally printed article comprising a build material, the build material comprising an oligomeric curable material, a reactive component that is solid at 25° C., and at least one diluent, wherein the reactive component comprises at least one chemical moiety that is polymerizable with a chemical moiety contained in the oligomeric curable material and/or the at least one diluent.
A method of printing a three dimensional article comprising:
- selectively depositing layers of a fluid build material to form the three dimensional article on a substrate, the build material comprising an oligomeric curable material, a reactive component that is solid at 25° C., and at least one diluent, wherein the reactive component comprises at least one chemical moiety that is polymerizable with a chemical moiety contained in the oligomeric curable material and/or the at least one diluent.
