Abstract

1. This invention relates to a liquid composition comprising: PA1 a) 2 to 20 parts of a monomeric poly(meth)acrylate having a functionality of at least 3 and a MW of at least 650; PA1 b) 20 to 60 parts of a urethane(meth)acrylate having a functionality of 2 to 4 and a MW of 400 to 10,000; PA1 c) 20 to 80 parts of a monomeric or oligomeric di(meth)acrylate based on bisphenol A or bisphenol F; and PA1 d) 0.1 to 10 parts of a photoinitiator; wherein all parts are by weight and the total number of parts of a)+b)+c)+d) add up to 100. The compositions are suitable for the stereolithographic production of three-dimensional articles such as models of mechanical and body parts and are particularly notable for their low curl & shrinkage coupled with fast rate of cure.
