Abstract
Curable formulations which form cured materials that are breakable upon immersion in water are disclosed. The cured materials break into a plurality of particles being a few millimeters or less in size. Methods of fabricating three-dimensional objects utilizing the curable formulations are also disclosed, as well as model objects fabricated thereby. The curable formulations include at least a mono-functional curable material and a multi-functional curable material, as described in the specification.
