Abstract
A polymerizable liquid that can be used for producing three-dimensional objects by methods of additive manufacturing is disclosed. The polymerizable liquid may comprise: (a) a blocked or reactively blocked polyurethane prepolymer; (b) (optional) a reactive diluent; (c) a blocked or reactively blocked curing agent; (d) a photoinitiator; and (e) (optional) a blocked or reactively blocked diisocyanate. The method using such polymerizable liquid to form three-dimensional objects is also described.

1-18. (canceled)
A polymerizable liquid used for producing three-dimensional objects by methods of additive manufacturing, said polymerizable liquid comprising:
- a blocked or reactively blocked polyurethane prepolymer;
- a blocked or reactively blocked curing agent, wherein the blocked or reactively blocked curing agent is a diol compound with two hydroxyl groups protected, a diamine compound with two amino groups protected, or a diimine compound with two imino groups protected;
- and
- a photoinitiator.
A method for forming a three-dimensional object, comprising:
- providing a printing region defined by a forming platform and a resin reservoir having a forming surface;
- filling said printing region with a polymerizable liquid, said polymerizable liquid including a blocked or reactively blocked polyurethane prepolymer, a blocked or reactively blocked curing agent, and a photoinitiator, wherein the blocked or reactively blocked curing agent is a diol compound with two hydroxyl groups protected, a diamine compound with two amino groups protected, or a diimine compound with two imino groups protected;
- exposing said printing region filled with the polymerizable liquid to energy to form a solid printing intermediate having substantially a same shape as said three-dimensional object;
- and
- providing energy to said solid printing intermediate to form said three-dimensional object.
