Definitions
- the present invention concerns methods of making three-dimensional objects, particularly clear or translucent objects, by additive manufacturing of a light polymerizable resin.
- a group of additive manufacturing techniques sometimes referred to as “stereolithography” creates a three-dimensional object by the sequential polymerization of a light polymerizable resin.
- Such techniques may be “bottom-up” techniques, where light is projected into the resin on the bottom of the growing object through a light transmissive window, or “top down” techniques, where light is projected onto the resin on top of the growing object, which is then immersed downward into the pool of resin.
- a first aspect of the invention is a method of making a clear or translucent object by additive manufacturing, comprising:
- a clear or translucent light polymerizable resin comprising: (i) light-polymerizable monomers, prepolymers, or a combination thereof (e.g., in an amount of from 5 or 10 percent by weight to 80 or 90 percent by weight); (ii) a photoinitiator (e.g., in an amount of from 0.1 percent by weight to 4 percent by weight); and (iii) a polysubstituted linear polyacene (e.g., anthracene) ultraviolet light absorbing compound (e.g., in an amount of 0.01, 0.05 or 0.1 percent by weight to 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 percent by weight), which compound is polysubstituted with bromo, chloro, —Se—R′, —S—R′ or combinations thereof, wherein each R′ is independently selected from alkyl, aryl, and arylalkyl; and then
- the producing step is carried out by bottom-up stereolithography (e.g., continuous liquid interface production).
- the light-polymerizable monomers, prepolymers, or a combination thereof are free-radical polymerizable.
- the resin further comprises a reactive diluent (e.g., in an amount of 1 or 2 percent by weight to 30 or 40 percent by weight).
- a reactive diluent e.g., in an amount of 1 or 2 percent by weight to 30 or 40 percent by weight.
- the resin comprises a dual cure resin.
- the resin has a light absorption coefficient, alpha, of from 0.0005 or 0.001, to 0.01 or 0.05.
- the method further comprises the steps of:
- the method may be used to make a variety of different objects, including but not limited to dental aligners, lenses, lens covers, and windows.
- the objects may be rigid, flexible, or elastic, depending on the choice of resin constituents, as is known in the art.
- a further aspect of the invention is objects produced by the methods described herein.
- a further aspect of the invention is clear or translucent light polymerizable resins, as described above, and described further below.
- Non-reactive light absorbers that polymerizable liquids may include a non-reactive pigment or dye that absorbs light, particularly UV light.
- Suitable examples of such light absorbers include, but are not limited to: (i) titanium dioxide (e.g., included in an amount of from 0.05 or 0.1 to 1 or 5 percent by weight), (ii) carbon black (e.g., included in an amount of from 0.05 or 0.1 to 1 or 5 percent by weight), and/or (iii) an organic ultraviolet light absorber such as a a hydroxybenzophenone, hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole, oxanilide, benzophenone, thioxanthone, hydroxypenyltriazine, and/or benzotriazole ultraviolet light absorber (e.g., Mayzo BLS1326) (e.g., included in an amount of 0.001 or 0.005 to 1, 2 or 4 percent by weight).
- titanium dioxide e.g., included in an amount of from 0.05 or 0.1 to 1 or 5 percent by weight
- carbon black e.g., included in an amount of from 0.05 or 0.1 to 1 or 5 percent by weight
- suitable organic ultraviolet light absorbers include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,213,058 [benzotriazoles]; U.S. Pat. No. 6,916,867 [mixtures of hydroxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole, oxanilide, and/or 2-hydroxyphenyltriazine]; U.S. Pat. No. 7,157,586 [benzotriazoles]; and U.S. Pat. No. 7,695,643 [benzotriazoles].
- UV-absorbers described in the present application are neither suggested nor described in those prior patents (or other prior patents and applications to Rolland et al.), the problem of caping of clear or translucent resins is neither suggested nor described therein, and the use of the absorbers described herein to reduce caping during production of light-transmissive objects is neither suggested nor described therein.
- FIG. 1 shows a set of test objects, in the form of vertical parallel plates spaced apart by gradually increasing distances from left to right, produced from Carbon Inc. RPU70 black resin on a Carbon Inc. M1 additive manufacturing apparatus.
- the carrier plate, or carrier platform, for the objects appears in part at the top of the Figure.
- FIG. 2 shows a set of test objects like that of FIG. 1 and produced in like manner from a similar resin, except that no black pigment is included, and BASF CARBOPROTECT® UV absorber was included.
- FIG. 3 shows a set of test objects like that of FIG. 1 and produced in like manner from a similar resin, except that no black pigment is included, and 9,10-diethoxyanthracene was included.
- FIG. 4 shows a set of test objects like that of FIG. 1 and produced in like manner from a similar resin, except that no black pigment is included, and 9,10-dibromoanthracene was included.
- Alkyl refers to a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon containing from 1 to 10 carbon atoms.
- Representative examples of alkyl include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, n-pentyl, isopentyl, neopentyl, n-hexyl, 3-methylhexyl, 2,2-dimethylpentyl, 2,3-dimethylpentyl, n-heptyl, n-octyl, n-nonyl, n-decyl, and the like.
- Loweralkyl as used herein, is a subset of alkyl, in some embodiments preferred, and refers to a straight or branched chain hydrocarbon group containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms.
- Representative examples of lower alkyl include, but are not limited to, methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl, iso-butyl, tert-butyl, and the like.
- Such groups can be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more (e.g., one, two, three four, etc.) independently selected electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups.
- Aryl refers to a monocyclic carbocyclic ring system or a bicyclic carbocyclic fused ring system having one or more aromatic rings.
- Representative examples of aryl include, azulenyl, indanyl, indenyl, naphthyl, phenyl, tetrahydronaphthyl, and the like.
- the term “aryl” is intended to include both substituted and unsubstituted aryl unless otherwise indicated and these groups may be substituted with the same groups as set forth in connection with alkyl and loweralkyl above. Such groups can be unsubstituted or substituted with one or more (e.g., one, two, three four, etc.) independently selected electron-donating or electron-withdrawing groups.
- Arylalkyl refers to an aryl group as described above, covalently coupled to an alkyl group as described above, which alkyl group is in turn coupled to the core molecule.
- Electrode-withdrawing and “electron donating” refer to the ability of a substituent to withdraw or donate electrons relative to that of hydrogen if the hydrogen atom occupied the same position in the molecule. These terms are well understood by one skilled in the art and are discussed in Advanced Organic Chemistry, by J. March, John Wiley and Sons, New York, N.Y., pp. 16-18 (1985), incorporated herein by reference.
- electron withdrawing and electron donating groups or substituents include, but are not limited to halo, nitro, cyano, carboxy, alkylcarboxy, loweralkenyl, loweralkynyl, loweralkanoyl (e.g., formyl), carboxyamido, aryl, quaternary ammonium, aryl (loweralkanoyl), carbalkoxy and the like; acyl, carboxy, alkanoyloxy, aryloxy, alkoxysulfonyl, aryloxysulfonyl, and the like; hydroxy, alkoxy or loweralkoxy (including methoxy, ethoxy and the like); loweralkyl; amino, alkylamino, lower alkylamino, di(loweralkyl)amino, aryloxy (such as phenoxy), mercapto, loweralkylthio, lower alkylmercapto, disulfide (loweralkyldithi
- Caping refers to unintended polymerization of a photopolymerizable resin during additive manufacturing, particularly stereolithography, in regions for which no polymerization is intended, frequently leading to distortion of the object and rejection of that object.
- Light absorption coefficient” or “alpha,” as used herein, is determined in accordance with known techniques. See, e.g., J. Tumbleston et al., Continuous liquid interface production of 3 D objects , Science 347:1349, Supplementary Materials (2015).

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16/488,638, filed Aug. 26, 2019, which is a 35 U.S.C. § 371 national phase application of International Application Serial No. PCT/US2018/051289, filed Sep. 17, 2018, which claims the benefit of U.S. provisional patent application Ser. No. 62/561,829, filed Sep. 22, 2017, the disclosure of which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.
- The present invention concerns methods of making three-dimensional objects, particularly clear or translucent objects, by additive manufacturing of a light polymerizable resin.
- A group of additive manufacturing techniques sometimes referred to as “stereolithography” creates a three-dimensional object by the sequential polymerization of a light polymerizable resin. Such techniques may be “bottom-up” techniques, where light is projected into the resin on the bottom of the growing object through a light transmissive window, or “top down” techniques, where light is projected onto the resin on top of the growing object, which is then immersed downward into the pool of resin.
- The recent introduction of a more rapid stereolithography technique known as continuous liquid interface production (CLIP), coupled with the introduction of “dual cure” resins for additive manufacturing, has expanded the usefulness of stereolithography from prototyping to manufacturing (see, e.g., U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,211,678; 9,205,601; and U.S. Pat. No. 9,216,546 to DeSimone et al.; and also in J. Tumbleston, D. Shirvanyants, N. Ermoshkin et al., Continuous liquid interface production of 3D Objects, Science 347, 1349-1352 (2015); see also Rolland et al., U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,676,963, 9,453,142 and 9,598,606). Unfortunately, light-transmissive (clear or translucent) resins, for the production of clear or translucent objects, can exhibit undesired polymerization during stereolithography, adding to the objects being produced additional polymerized regions where no polymerization is intended. Akin to the phenomenon known as “flashing” in injection molding, this phenomenon is referred to as “caping.” Since clear or translucent objects are one desirable category of objects for stereolithography, solutions to the problem of caping are needed.
- A first aspect of the invention is a method of making a clear or translucent object by additive manufacturing, comprising:
- (a) providing a clear or translucent light polymerizable resin, the resin comprising: (i) light-polymerizable monomers, prepolymers, or a combination thereof (e.g., in an amount of from 5 or 10 percent by weight to 80 or 90 percent by weight); (ii) a photoinitiator (e.g., in an amount of from 0.1 percent by weight to 4 percent by weight); and (iii) a polysubstituted linear polyacene (e.g., anthracene) ultraviolet light absorbing compound (e.g., in an amount of 0.01, 0.05 or 0.1 percent by weight to 1, 2, 5, 10 or 20 percent by weight), which compound is polysubstituted with bromo, chloro, —Se—R′, —S—R′ or combinations thereof, wherein each R′ is independently selected from alkyl, aryl, and arylalkyl; and then
- (b) producing by stereolithography with ultraviolet light a clear or translucent object from said light polymerizable resin.
- In some embodiments, the producing step is carried out by bottom-up stereolithography (e.g., continuous liquid interface production).
- In some embodiments, the light-polymerizable monomers, prepolymers, or a combination thereof are free-radical polymerizable.
- In some embodiments, the resin further comprises a reactive diluent (e.g., in an amount of 1 or 2 percent by weight to 30 or 40 percent by weight).
- In some embodiments, the resin comprises a dual cure resin.
- In some embodiments, the resin has a light absorption coefficient, alpha, of from 0.0005 or 0.001, to 0.01 or 0.05.
- In some embodiments, the method further comprises the steps of:
- (c) washing the object; and then
- (d) further curing the object (e.g., by baking).
- The method may be used to make a variety of different objects, including but not limited to dental aligners, lenses, lens covers, and windows. The objects may be rigid, flexible, or elastic, depending on the choice of resin constituents, as is known in the art.
- A further aspect of the invention is objects produced by the methods described herein.
- A further aspect of the invention is clear or translucent light polymerizable resins, as described above, and described further below.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,705,116 to Sitzmann et al. describes the use of certain anthracenes to increase to the useful range of cationic photoinitiators in stereolithography, but is not concerned with caping, and does not suggest the substituents described herein.
- Prior U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,676,963, 9,453,142 and 9,598,606 to Rolland et al. describe with regard to non-reactive light absorbers that polymerizable liquids may include a non-reactive pigment or dye that absorbs light, particularly UV light. Suitable examples of such light absorbers include, but are not limited to: (i) titanium dioxide (e.g., included in an amount of from 0.05 or 0.1 to 1 or 5 percent by weight), (ii) carbon black (e.g., included in an amount of from 0.05 or 0.1 to 1 or 5 percent by weight), and/or (iii) an organic ultraviolet light absorber such as a a hydroxybenzophenone, hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole, oxanilide, benzophenone, thioxanthone, hydroxypenyltriazine, and/or benzotriazole ultraviolet light absorber (e.g., Mayzo BLS1326) (e.g., included in an amount of 0.001 or 0.005 to 1, 2 or 4 percent by weight). Examples of suitable organic ultraviolet light absorbers include, but are not limited to, those described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,213,058 [benzotriazoles]; U.S. Pat. No. 6,916,867 [mixtures of hydroxybenzophenone, 2-hydroxyphenylbenzotriazole, oxanilide, and/or 2-hydroxyphenyltriazine]; U.S. Pat. No. 7,157,586 [benzotriazoles]; and U.S. Pat. No. 7,695,643 [benzotriazoles].
- However, the UV-absorbers described in the present application are neither suggested nor described in those prior patents (or other prior patents and applications to Rolland et al.), the problem of caping of clear or translucent resins is neither suggested nor described therein, and the use of the absorbers described herein to reduce caping during production of light-transmissive objects is neither suggested nor described therein.
- The foregoing and other objects and aspects of the present invention are explained in greater detail in the drawings herein and the specification set forth below. The disclosures of all United States patent references cited herein are to be incorporated herein by reference.

A purpose of Part A is to “lock” the shape of the object being formed (and in the case of “dual cure” resins, create a scaffold for the one or more additional components (e.g., Part B)). Importantly, Part A is present at or above the minimum quantity needed to maintain the shape of the object being formed after the initial solidification during photolithography. In some embodiments, this amount corresponds to less than ten, twenty, or thirty percent by weight of the total resin (polymerizable liquid) composition.
- Examples of suitable reactive end groups suitable for Part A constituents, monomers, or prepolymers include, but are not limited to: acrylates, methacrylates, α-olefins, N-vinyls, acrylamides, methacrylamides, styrenics, epoxides, thiols, 1,3-dienes, vinyl halides, acrylonitriles, vinyl esters, maleimides, and vinyl ethers.
- Note that, in some embodiments, a light polymerizable component (a “Part A” component), once polymerized, may degrade during further curing (e.g., during heating or baking) to form a constituent for the further (e.g., heat) cure. Thus, it is converted, in part, to a “Part B” component, though other portions (e.g., remaining light-reactive blocking groups such as t-BAEMA), may not participate in the further cure, and hence make little or no contribution to the mechanical properties of the final product.
- B. Photoinitiators. Photoinitiators included in the polymerizable liquid (resin) can be any suitable photoinitiator, including type I and type II photoinitiators and including commonly used UV photoinitiators, examples of which include but are not limited to acetophenones (diethoxyacetophenone for example), phosphine oxides diphenyl(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl)phosphine oxide (TPO), phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide (PPO), Irgacure 369, etc. See, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 9,453,142 to Rolland et al.
- C. Heat-polymerizable monomers and/or prepolymers. Sometimes also referred to as “Part B”, these constituents may comprise, consist of or consist essentially of a mix of monomers and/or prepolymers that possess reactive end groups that participate in a second solidification reaction after the Part A solidification reaction. In general, for dual cure resins, examples of methods used to solidify Part B include, but are not limited to, contacting the object or scaffold to heat, water or water vapor, light at a different wavelength than that at which Part A is cured, catalysts, (with or without additional heat), evaporation of a solvent from the polymerizable liquid (e.g., using heat, vacuum, or a combination thereof), microwave irradiation, etc., including combinations thereof. In this case, heat curing of the “Part B” resins is preferred.
- Examples of suitable reactive end group pairs for Part B constituents, monomers or prepolymers include, but are not limited to: epoxy/amine, epoxy/hydroxyl, oxetane/amine, oxetane/alcohol, isocyanate*/hydroxyl, isocyanate*/amine, isocyanate/carboxylic acid, anhydride/amine, amine/carboxylic acid, amine/ester, hydroxyl/carboxylic acid, hydroxyl/acid chloride, amine/acid chloride, vinyl/Si—H (hydrosilylation), Si—Cl/hydroxyl, Si—Cl/amine, hydroxyl/aldehyde, amine/aldehyde, hydroxymethyl or alkoxymethyl amide/alcohol, aminoplast, alkyne/Azide (also known as one embodiment of “Click Chemistry,” along with additional reactions including thiolene, Michael additions, Diels-Alder reactions, nucleophilic substitution reactions, etc.), alkene/sulfur (polybutadiene vulcanization), alkene/peroxide, alkene/thiol, alkyne/thiol, hydroxyl/halide, isocyanate*/water (polyurethane foams), Si—OH/hydroxyl, Si—OH/water, Si—OH/Si—H (tin catalyzed silicone), Si—OH/Si—OH (tin catalyzed silicone), perfluorovinyl (coupling to form perfluorocyclobutane), etc., where *isocyanates include protected isocyanates (e.g. oximes)), diene/dienophiles for Diels-Alder reactions, olefin metathesis polymerization, olefin polymerization using Ziegler-Natta catalysis, ring-opening polymerization (including ring-opening olefin metathesis polymerization, lactams, lactones, siloxanes, epoxides, cyclic ethers, imines, cyclic acetals, etc.), etc. As will be noted from the above, the “Part B” components generally comprise at least a pair of compounds, reactive with one another (e.g., a polyisocyanate, and a polyamine).
- D. Additional resin ingredients. The liquid resin or polymerizable material can have solid particles suspended or dispersed therein. Any suitable solid particle can be used, depending upon the end product being fabricated. The particles can be metallic, organic/polymeric, inorganic, or composites or mixtures thereof. The particles can be nonconductive, semi-conductive, or conductive (including metallic and non-metallic or polymer conductors); and the particles can be magnetic, ferromagnetic, paramagnetic, or nonmagnetic. The particles can be of any suitable shape, including spherical, elliptical, cylindrical, etc. The particles can be of any suitable size (for example, ranging from 1 nm to 20 μm average diameter).
- The particles can comprise an active agent or detectable compound as described below, though these may also be provided dissolved or solubilized in the liquid resin as also discussed below. For example, magnetic or paramagnetic particles or nanoparticles can be employed.
- The liquid resin can have additional ingredients solubilized therein, including pigments, dyes, diluents, active compounds or pharmaceutical compounds, detectable compounds (e.g., fluorescent, phosphorescent, radioactive), etc., again depending upon the particular purpose of the product being fabricated. Examples of such additional ingredients include, but are not limited to, proteins, peptides, nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) such as siRNA, sugars, small organic compounds (drugs and drug-like compounds), etc., including combinations thereof.
- Fillers. Any suitable filler may be used in connection with the present invention, depending on the properties desired in the part or object to be made. Thus, fillers may be solid or liquid, organic or inorganic, and may include reactive and non-reactive rubbers: siloxanes, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubbers; reactive and non-reactive thermoplastics (including but not limited to: poly(ether imides), maleimide-styrene terpolymers, polyarylates, polysulfones and polyethersulfones, etc.) inorganic fillers such as silicates (such as talc, clays, silica, mica), glass, carbon nanotubes, graphene, cellulose nanocrystals, etc., including combinations of all of the foregoing. Suitable fillers include tougheners, such as core-shell rubbers, as discussed below.
- Tougheners. One or more polymeric and/or inorganic tougheners can be used as a filler in the present invention. See generally US Patent Application Publication No. 20150215430. The toughener may be uniformly distributed in the form of particles in the cured product. The particles could be less than 5 microns (μm) in diameter. Such tougheners include, but are not limited to, those formed from elastomers, branched polymers, hyperbranched polymers, dendrimers, rubbery polymers, rubbery copolymers, block copolymers, core-shell particles, oxides or inorganic materials such as clay, polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), carbonaceous materials (e.g., carbon black, carbon nanotubes, carbon nanofibers, fullerenes), ceramics and silicon carbides, with or without surface modification or functionalization.
- Core-shell rubbers. Core-shell rubbers are particulate materials (particles) having a rubbery core. Such materials are known and described in, for example, US Patent Application Publication No. 20150184039, as well as US Patent Application Publication No. 20150240113, and U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,861,475, 7,625,977, 7,642,316, 8,088,245, and elsewhere. In some embodiments, the core-shell rubber particles are nanoparticles (i.e., having an average particle size of less than 1000 nanometers (nm)). Generally, the average particle size of the core-shell rubber nanoparticles is less than 500 nm, e.g., less than 300 nm, less than 200 nm, less than 100 nm, or even less than 50 nm. Typically, such particles are spherical, so the particle size is the diameter; however, if the particles are not spherical, the particle size is defined as the longest dimension of the particle. Suitable core-shell rubbers include, but are not limited to, those sold by Kaneka Corporation under the designation Kaneka Kane Ace, including the Kaneka Kane Ace 15 and 120 series of products, including Kaneka Kane Ace MX 120, Kaneka Kane Ace MX 153, Kaneka Kane Ace MX 154, Kaneka Kane Ace MX 156, Kaneka Kane Ace MX170, and Kaneka Kane Ace MX 257 and Kaneka Kane Ace MX 120 core-shell rubber dispersions, and mixtures thereof.
- Organic diluents. In some embodiments, diluents for use in the present invention are preferably reactive organic diluents: That is, diluents that will degrade, isomerize, cross-react, or polymerize, with themselves or a light polymerizable component, during the additive manufacturing step. In general, the diluent(s) are included in an amount sufficient to reduce the viscosity of the polymerizable liquid or resin (e.g., to not more than 15,000, 10,000, 6,000, 5,000, 4,000, or 3,000 centipoise at 25 degrees Celsius). Suitable examples of diluents include, but are not limited to, N,N-dimethylacrylamide, N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, and N-vinyl formamide, or a mixture thereof. The diluent may be included in the polymerizable liquid in any suitable amount, typically from 1, 5 or 10 percent by weight, up to about 30 or 40 percent by weight, or more.
- Techniques for additive manufacturing are known. Suitable techniques include bottom-up and top-down additive manufacturing, generally known as stereolithography. Such methods are known and described in, for example, U.S. Pat. No. 5,236,637 to Hull, U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,391,072 and 5,529,473 to Lawton, U.S. Pat. No. 7,438,846 to John, U.S. Pat. No. 7,892,474 to Shkolnik, U.S. Pat. No. 8,110,135 to El-Siblani, U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2013/0292862 to Joyce, and US Patent Application Publication No. 2013/0295212 to Chen et al. The disclosures of these patents and applications are incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.
- CLIP is known and described in, for example, U.S. Pat. Nos. 9,211,678; 9,205,601; and 9,216,546 to DeSimone et al.; and also in J. Tumbleston, D. Shirvanyants, N. Ermoshkin et al., Continuous liquid interface production of 3D Objects, Science 347, 1349-1352 (2015). See also R. Janusziewcz et al., Layerless fabrication with continuous liquid interface production, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 113, 11703-11708 (2016). In some embodiments, CLIP employs features of a bottom-up three dimensional fabrication as described above, but the irradiating and/or advancing steps are carried out while also concurrently maintaining a stable or persistent liquid interface between the growing object and the build surface or window, such as by: (i) continuously maintaining a dead zone of polymerizable liquid in contact with said build surface, and (ii) continuously maintaining a gradient of polymerization zone (such as an active surface) between the dead zone and the solid polymer and in contact with each thereof, the gradient of polymerization zone comprising the first component in partially cured form. In some embodiments of CLIP, the optically transparent member comprises a semipermeable member (e.g., a fluoropolymer), and the continuously maintaining a dead zone is carried out by feeding an inhibitor of polymerization through the optically transparent member, thereby creating a gradient of inhibitor in the dead zone and optionally in at least a portion of the gradient of polymerization zone. The inhibitor may pass entirely through the semipermeable member, or a “pool” of inhibitor may reside within the semipermeable member and pass through the resin contact surface thereof, as described in DeSimone et al. (referenced above), and also in Sun et al., US Patent Application Publication No. US 2016/0288376. While a preferred inhibitor is oxygen, other inhibitors, such as bases (including amines) as described in DeSimone et al., or those described in Sun et al., may also be used. Other approaches for carrying out CLIP that can be used in the present invention and potentially obviate the need for a semipermeable “window” or window structure include utilizing a liquid interface comprising an immiscible liquid (see L. Robeson et al., WO 2015/164234), generating oxygen as an inhibitor by electrolysis (see I. Craven et al., WO 2016/133759), and incorporating magnetically positionable particles to which the photoactivator is coupled into the polymerizable liquid (see J. Rolland, WO 2016/145182).
- In one non-limiting embodiment, the object may be produced on a Carbon Inc. M1 additive manufacturing apparatus, available from Carbon, Inc., 1089 Mills Way, Redwood City, Calif. 94063 USA.
- After the intermediate three-dimensional object is formed, it is optionally washed, optionally dried (e.g., air dried) and/or rinsed (in any sequence). In some embodiments (employing “dual cure” resins), it is then further cured, such as by heating.
- Heating may be active heating (e.g., baking in an oven, such as an electric, gas, solar oven or microwave oven, or combination thereof), or passive heating (e.g., at ambient (room) temperature). Active heating will generally be more rapid than passive heating and in some embodiments is preferred, but passive heating—such as simply maintaining the intermediate at ambient temperature for a sufficient time to effect further cure—may in some embodiments also be employed.
- The present invention is explained in greater detail in the following non-limiting Examples.
- In stereolithography, “caping” is unintended polymerization of a resin during fabrication in regions that should remain empty or unpolymerized.
- When fabricating a set of vertical plate test objects on a Carbon, Inc. M1 additive manufacturing apparatus, no significant caping is seen with Carbon Inc. RPU70 black resin (see
FIG. 1 ). The resin light absorption coefficient, alpha, of the black RPU70 resin was 0.0042, with alpha as defined in J. Tumbleston et al., Continuous liquid interface production of 3D objects, Science 347:1349, Supplementary Materials (2015). - If a clear version of RPU70 is prepared (with black pigment absent), then poor z-resolution is expected due to the low alpha (low resin light absorption coefficient). Accordingly, it was attempted to improve Z-axis resolution in a clear resin by adding a UV absorbing compound, as described below.
- The AUTODESK PR48 standard clear prototyping resin contains:
-
- Oligomer: Allnex Ebecryl 8210 39.776%, Sartomer SR 494 39.776%;
- Photoinitiator: Esstech TPO+ (2,4,6-Trimethylbenzoyl-diphenylphosphineoxide) 0.400%;
- Reactive diluent: Rahn GenA clomer 1122 19.888%;
- UV blocker: Mayzo OB+ (2,2′-(2,5-thiophenediyl)bis(5-tertbutylbenzoxazole)) 0.160%; (all percentages are wt/wt).
- When a resin like RPU70 was prepared, without black pigment, but with Mayzo OB+ as the UV absorber, and objects produced on a Carbon Inc. M1 apparatus, caping was again observed. We noted that the caping seemed to involve the amines of the “Part B” component, and that, when the “Part B” amines were removed from the resin the caping was much reduced. However, in spite of the presence of the UV blocker OB+, caping is observed under production conditions similar to those described for the RPU70 black resin above.
- A clear resin similar to Carbon Inc. RPU 70 was prepared, except that black pigment was omitted, and BASF CarboProtect® UV absorber (designed for solvent-based clear or semi-transparent coatings over carbon fiber reinforced materials) was included. The resin alpha was 0.0044. Test objects like that shown in
FIG. 1 were then produced with the resin in like manner as inFIG. 1 , with results shown inFIG. 2 . No substantial caping was seen. However, substantial yellowing of the objects was observed. - A generic structure encompassing CarboProtect® UV Absorber is given in BASF US Patent Application Publication No. US 20120279566.
- U.S. Pat. No. 5,705,116 to Sitzmann (noted above) states that anthracenes having pendant alkoxy groups are preferred for use with light at certain wavelengths.
- A clear resin similar to Carbon Inc. RPU 70 was prepared, except that black pigment was omitted, and 9,10-diethoxyanthracene was included as a UV absorber. The resin alpha was 0.0044. Test objects like that shown in
FIG. 1 were then produced with the resin in like manner as inFIG. 1 , with results shown inFIG. 3 . No substantial yellowing was observed. Unfortunately, substantial caping was seen. - A clear resin similar to Carbon Inc. RPU 70 was prepared, except that black pigment was omitted, and 9,10-dibromoanthracene was included as a UV absorber (e.g., in an amount of 0.17 percent by weight). The resin alpha was 0.0044. Test objects like that shown in
FIG. 1 were then produced with the resin in like manner as inFIG. 1 , with results shown inFIG. 4 . No substantial yellowing was observed, and no substantial caping was seen. - The foregoing is illustrative of the present invention, and is not to be construed as limiting thereof. The invention is defined by the following claims, with equivalents of the claims to be included therein.
