Benefits of technology

[0033]An object of the present invention is to provide a photocurable resin composition for three-dimensional photofabrication which produces a cured product (three-dimensional fabricated product) exhibiting high toughness (e.g., folding resistance and impact resistance) and high rigidity (e.g., Young's modulus and flexural modulus), and a three-dimensional fabricated product formed of the composition.
[0035]The photocurable resin composition of the present invention can produce a cured product having mechanical properties resembling to engineering plastics such as an ABS resin and can thus be suitably used as a material for forming a trial product of parts consisting of engineering plastics.

Problems solved by technology

However, the technologies disclosed in Patent Documents JP-A-1-204915, JP-A-2-208305, JP-A-3-160013 (composition (a)) have a limitation in that it is difficult to obtain a high fabrication accuracy due to large cure shrinkage.
The technology disclosed in Patent Document JP-A-1-213304 (composition (b)) ensures a high fabrication accuracy, but tends to produce a brittle cured product with low toughness.
Moreover, the curing speed is insufficient.
The technologies disclosed in Patent Documents JP-A-2-28261, JP-A-2-75618, JP-A-6-228413, JP-A-11-310626, JP-A-11-228610, JP-A-11-240939) (composition (c)) have a limitation in that some mechanical properties (particularly toughness) are insufficient as compared with general-purpose resins.
However, the mechanical properties (particularly toughness) of the resulting composition are still insufficient for use as a prototype of plastic parts produced using an engineering plastic such as an ABS resin.
Moreover, the Young's modulus and the like of the composition decrease when adding a large amount of elastomer particles aiming at increasing toughness, whereby a fabricated product having high rigidity cannot obtained.

[0193]Curable liquid resin compositions were prepared in the same manner as in Example 1, except for using the compounds shown in Table 3 as component (F). Test specimens (cured products) were prepared from the resulting liquid resin compositions for evaluation. The evaluation method is the same as described above. The results are shown in Table 3.

Abstract

A photocurable resin composition for three-dimensional photofabrication operations, including stereolithography, comprising (A) a cationically polymerizable compound having two or more bisphenol structures and one or more hydroxyl groups, (B) a cationically polymerizable compound other than the component (A), (C) a cationic photoinitiator, (D) a radically polymerizable compound, (E) a radical photoinitiator, and (F) multilayer polymer particles having a core and a shell layer, the shell layer containing functional group-modified rubber polymer particles having at least one reactive functional group.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The present invention relates to a photocurable resin composition for three-dimensional photofabrication and a three-dimensional fabricated object formed of the composition. This type of photocurable resin composition is typically referred to as a stereolithography resin and the process of making the three dimensional object using the resin composition is typically referred to as stereolithography.[0002]The present invention also includes the process of making the three-dimensional object and the three dimensional object itself.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]A three-dimensional photofabrication method is known in which a step of selectively applying light to a photocurable resin composition to form a cured resin layer is repeated to form a three-dimensional fabricated product in which the cured resin layers are integrally stacked (See Patent Documents JP-A-60-247515, JP-A-62-35966, JP-A-62-101408, and JP-A-5-24119). The process of making the three dimen...
