Abstract

Polymer precursor formulations suitable for stereolithography may be prepared from compositions containing vinyl ether functionalized compounds and epoxy functionalized compounds plus an effective amount of a cationic photoinitiator and an ultraviolet light-absorbing compound to provide a predetermined depth of cure. Preferably, the ultraviolet light-absorbing compound is anthracene or its derivatives.
