    摘要: A method of forming a dual cure three-dimensional object by additive manufacturing may be carried out by mixing a first precursor liquid and a second precursor liquid to produce a polymerizable liquid comprising a mixture of (i) a light polymerizable liquid first component, and (ii) a second solidifiable component (e.g., a second reactive component) that is different from the first component (e.g., that does not contain a cationic photoinitiator, or is further solidified by a different physical mechanism, or further reacted, polymerized or chain extended by a different chemical reaction). In the foregoing: (i′) at least one reactant of the second solidifiable component is contained in the first precursor liquid, and (ii′) at least one reactant or catalyst of the second solidifiable component is contained in the second precursor liquid. Once mixed, the three-dimensional object may be formed from the resin by a dual cure additive manufacturing process.

    摘要: An exposure method is provided. The exposure method includes coating a photo-curable material on a substrate, and exposing a portion of the photo-curable material by providing a first light source through an optical fiber to form a first photo-cured material. The optical fiber includes a light output end and a cone portion that tapers toward the light output end. The photo-curable material not exposed by the first light source is removed while leaving the first photo-cured material. Exposure equipment for performing the exposure method and a 3-dimensional structure formed thereby are also described.
