A visible light-curable yet visible wavelength-transparent resin for stereolithography 3D printing

Abstract: Herein, a new polymeric resin for stereolithography (SLA) three-dimensional printing (SLA-3DP) is reported. An ultraviolet (UV) or visible (VIS) light source is critical for SLA printing technology. UV light can be used to manufacture 3D objects in SLA-3DP, but there are significant occupational safety and health issues (particularly for eyes). These issues prevent the widespread use of SLA-3DP at home or in the office. Through the use of VIS light, the safety and health issues can largely be solved, but only … Show more

“…A post-process treatment is to cure the scaffold in UV oven. SLA allows the fabrication with complex and anatomically shaped structures [ 43 ]. Besides SLA, two-photon polymerization (2PP), where Femto-second laser beams are focused on the photosensitive liquid material that is mixed by monomeric matrix molecule and a photo initiator, is another technology.…”

“…At present, most of the polymerization processes done in industries are based on UV-photoinitiators giving rise to safety concerns for the manipulators. Notably, UV-light can be responsible from eye damages under accidental exposure [11,12]. This unwanted exposure can nonetheless occur in industry but also during dental treatments in dental clinics so that alternatives to UV light photoinitiators are actively researched [13].…”

“…Some commercially available visible light PIs exist, including lithium phenyl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzoylphosphinate (LAP), camphorquinone (CQ), Eosin Y, and their derivatives. [8][9][10][11] Even though they have been shown to exhibit sufficient sensitivity in the absorption of visible light, disadvantages of each persist. For example, the low aqueous solubility of CQ limits its suitability for hydrogels.…”
