THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTING COMBINING RING-OPENING METATHESIS POLYMERIZATION AND FREE RADICAL POLYMERIZATION

Abstract:

Methods for fabricating three-dimensional objects by 3D-inkjet printing technology are provided. The methods utilize a combination of curable materials that polymerize via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) and curable materials that polymerize via free-radical polymerization (FRP) for fabricating the object. Systems suitable for performing these methods, kits containing modeling material formulations usable in the methods and objects obtained thereby are also provided.
