3D general photocurabel model of resin with various kinds of microparticles

Abstract

We have constructed world-first generalized model for expecting 3D curing characteristics of photocurable polymer including micro particles. First, our theory is applicable for all polymers that respond to light. Second, we can adapt all kinds of particles to our theory. Moreover, the complicated calculation is not necessary. We can expect 3D curing properties through characteristics of resin and microparticles. Therefore, our theory is useful for developing newly photocurable polymer not only with microparticles, but also without microparticles. We believe that our model becomes fundamental theory for the 2D and 3D microfabrication in the photolithography and microstereolithography.
