Thermosetting material for use in additive manufacturing

This invention describes a special plastic material for 3D printing that hardens in two stages. It's designed to be partially cured during the printing process using one chemical, and then fully hardened afterwards with a second chemical step. Specifically, the first chemical is used in a smaller amount than needed for full hardening during printing.

Why it matters: Filed before advanced computational material design tools became widely accessible. These tools could now accelerate the complex formulation of dual-cure thermosets with precise sub-stoichiometric control for additive manufacturing.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedChemical formulation, specialized 3D printing equipment
