| Abstract: | A novel hybrid type photosensitive resin for stereolithography in 3D printing was prepared with bisphenol A type epoxy diacrylate (EA-612), tripropylene glycol diacrylate (TPGDA),ethoxylated trimethyolpropane triacrylate(EO_3TMPTA), cycloaliphatic diepoxide(ERL-4221),polycaprolactonepolyol(Polyol-0301),1-hydroxy-cyclohphenyl ketone(Irgacure184), and a mixture of triarylsulfonium hexafluoroantimonate salts (Ar_3SS_bF_6). The novel hybrid type photosensitive resin was the photosensitive resin of an epoxy-acrylate hybrid system, which proceeded free radical polymerization and cationic polymerization in ultraviolet (UV) laser. Cuboid parts and double-cantilever parts were fabricated by using a stereolithography apparatus with the novel hybrid type photosensitive resin as the processing material,and the dimension shrinkage factor and the curl factor were tested. The shrinkage factor was less than 2.00%,and the curl factor was less than 8.00%, which showed that the accuracy of the fabricated parts was high with the photosensitive resin for stereolithography in 3D printing. |
