- the invention relates generally to 3D inkjet printing and more specifically to the printable compositions used in a 3D inkjet printer.
- Additive manufacturing is a set of methods that allows objects to be fabricated via selective addition of material.
- a typical additive manufacturing process works by slicing a digital model (for example, represented using a stereolithography file (STL)) into a series of layers. The layers are sent to a fabrication apparatus that deposits the layers one by one from the bottom to the top. Additive manufacturing is rapidly gaining popularity in a variety of markets including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and industrial tooling.

- Inkjet 3D printing is a method of additive manufacturing where printheads deposit droplets of liquid printable resins.
- Printheads are typically mounted on a gantry system to allow deposition of printable resins in different locations of the build volume.
- the build platform may also move with respect to the printheads, which may be stationary.
- the liquid printable resin is solidified using UV or visible light radiation.
- Multiple printheads can be used in one system in order to build objects with multiple base materials. For example, materials that have different optical, mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic properties can be used. These materials can be combined to achieve composite materials with a wide range of properties.
- the UV-curing unit is typically one of the subsystems used within an inkjet additive manufacturing apparatus.
- UV radiation provides the means of solidifying printable resins via photo-initiation of the polymerization reaction.
- UV radiation can be supplied by a variety of different mechanisms such as arrays of LEDs and Mercury or Xenon arc lamps.
- UV-curing is typically applied after each printed layer or after depositing each material within a layer.
- the UV-curing unit can be fixed with respect to the printer or it can move independently with respect to the object.
- printable resin solidification can be achieved by changes in thermal conditions. For example, a liquid material solidifies as its temperature is lowered.
- a variety of different printable resins can be used in this category, such as waxes. Both UV-phase change and thermal-phase change printable resins can be combined to manufacture an object.
- 3D printed objects When manufactured using an inkjet process, 3D printed objects may need structural support. For example, most objects with overhangs need support structures. Typically, additional print data is generated for these support structures.
- a separate printable resin is designated as a support material. This printable resin is deposited also using printheads and solidified. It is desirable for the support material to be easily removed after the print is completed.
- support materials including UV-curable materials that are soluble in water or other solvents, or wax-based materials that can be removed by melting.
- parts are typically post-processed.
- support material may need to be removed.
- the parts might also need to be post-processed to improve their mechanical or thermal properties. This may include thermal treatment and/or additional UV exposure.
- Printable resins suitable for inkjet printing need to conform to certain specifications.
- the key requirements include: 1) viscosity typically needs to be within 3-15 cps at the operating conditions; 2) surface tension typically should be between 20-45 mN/m; 3) thermal stability—the printable resin should not solidify within the printhead, printable resin container, or feeding system; 4) formulation stability—different components of the printable resin should not separate for a reasonably long time.
- Printable resins are typically optimized in order to meet the specifications for printing.
- the waveform for driving the printheads must be optimized and adapted for each printable resin.
- many different parameters of the printing process need to be adapted for individual printable resins, such as printhead and printable resin pre-heating.
- printable resins may include additives.
- additives include colorants in the form of dyes or pigments or the mixture of pigments and dyes that are dispersed or dissolved in the printable resin.
- Surfactants may also be used to adjust the surface tension of the printable resin for improved jetting or printing performance.
- other types of particles or additives may be used in order to enhance the mechanical, thermal or optical characteristics of the cured resin.
- photo-curable printable resins for inkjet 3D printers are based on (meth)acrylate chemistry.
- (Meth)acrylates are popular due to a wide variety of available monomers and oligomers, low cost, and rapid cure rate. Resins ranging from soft elastomers to hard, brittle materials are available for use. However, acrylate-based materials are often unsuitable for applications requiring high stiffness, thermal resistance, or dimensional stability.
- Acrylic photopolymers cure via a radical mediated chain growth mechanism.
- acrylic photopolymers will gel at low degrees of cure.
- Full cure is difficult to achieve and leads to significant shrinkage and warping as the degree of cure increases. This becomes more severe as lower-functionality acrylic monomers are used, which are necessary to achieve materials with high extensibility.
- Acrylate-functionalized high molecular weight oligomers may be used to make tough, elastic materials at the expense of large increases of the viscosity of the uncured resin.
- Thiol-ene chemistry is a well-known reaction scheme in which a thiol will add to an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond. This reaction has been used to develop photopolymer resins for applications such as dental cement and implantable medical devices. Polymerization may take place under radical or basic conditions, although the radical reaction is faster by several orders of magnitude.
- thiol-enes are well-known, for a variety of reasons, their use in jetted inks is not.
- Thiol-ene resins cure via a step-growth mechanism and are significantly less sensitive to oxygen inhibition than acrylic photopolymers. This step-growth polymerization delays the gel point in comparison to chain-growth reactions. Combined with lower oxygen sensitivity, this causes thiol-ene photopolymers to cure to higher degrees of conversion than acrylic photopolymers while displaying significantly less shrinkage and warping. This also provides more precise control over the polymer crosslink density, allowing resins with high elongation and elasticity at low viscosities.
- thiol-ene based materials for more conventional photo-curable printable resins such as acrylic photopolymers for inkjet 3D printers will not generally provide a useful jetted ink for 3D printers. Because a thiol-ene resin for ink jet printing requires lower viscosities than other photopolymer 3D printing methods, it is only through careful formulation of particular compositions and reaction characteristics will one realize thiol-ene resins that are suitable and useful in the UV inkjet 3D printing space.
- thiol and alkene monomers and oligomers suitable for use in 3D deposition of printable resins.
- One of the primary providers of thiol monomers is Bruno Bock Thiochemicals (Eicholzer Stra ⁇ e 23, 21436 Marschacht, Germany), which manufactures a wide range of thiol-functional materials.
- Example monomers that are useful for photopolymer resins are glycol di(3-mercaptopropionate) [GDMP], trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) [TMPMP], and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) [PETMP].
- alkene monomers can be polymerized with thiols, such as acrylates, vinyls, allyls, and norbornenes.
- the polymerization kinetics, stability, and properties vary widely based on the particular type of alkene monomer that is used in the resin.
- the stability of the mixed resin is inversely proportional to the electron deficiency of the alkene.
- Highly electron-deficient alkenes such as vinyls are less stable with thiols than more electron-rich allyl monomers.
- Polymer homogeneity has a similar relationship, as electron-deficient alkenes will have a higher tendency to homopolymerize upon curing instead of stoichiometrically reacting with thiols.
- allyl-functional monomers tend to have better stability with thiols while retaining high reaction rates and cure homogeneity.
- Resins stabilized using phosphonic acid and radical inhibitors can have pot life similar to that of acrylic resins.
- compositions for the inkjet 3D formulation By carefully selecting the composition materials for the inkjet 3D formulation, a composition that is stable over long periods of time, with relatively low viscosity and that has a desirable mode of polymerization can result in an ink that is suitable for 3-D printing. Furthermore, elastomeric materials have not, in general, been used in 3D printing. However, with feedback approaches, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 10,456,984 and US 2016/0167306, both of which are incorporated by reference, may be desirable and attainable with the above-described properties.
- composition suitable for 3-D printing comprises a photopolymer comprising one or more thiol monomer, one or more alkene monomer, and a polymerization initiator.
- the thiol monomer is selected from the group consisting of: glycol di(3-mercaptopropionate) [GDMP]; trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) [TMPMP]; pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) [PETMP] and 3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol [DODT].
- the alkene monomer comprises: an allyl-functional urethane/urea monomer synthesized from an isocyanate moiety and a hydroxyl or amine functional allyl moiety.
- the hydroxyl or amine functional allyl moiety comprises 2-allyloxyethanol, allyl alcohol, and allylamine.
- the isocyanate moiety is selected from the group consisting of: isophorone diisocyanate (IDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate (TMHDI), 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, and dicyclohexylmethane 4,4′-Diisocyanate (HMDI).

- FIGS. 5A-5F depict preferred embodiments of allyl urethane/urea monomers.
- HDI and TMHDI are reacted with allyloxyethanol, allyl alcohol, or allylamine
- the invention relates to the composition of a new 3D printable material comprising allyl urethanes that have increased strength upon curing.
- compositions were formulated with essentially two functionality groups resulting in a material that acts as a chain extender (small amount of tri-functional monomer was added to crosslink the material).
- the polymer chain of the material is longer and does not connect to other polymer chains. This characteristic is particularly important for elastomeric materials, which are desired to be more stretchable, rather than more rigid.
- Such compositions will provide materials that have relatively low viscosity, desirable polymerization characteristics, better curing properties and with increased stability over longer periods of time.
- Urethane bonds have high degrees of hydrogen bonding due to containing both a proton donor and acceptor. Incorporation of urethane bonds into acrylic photopolymers is method of increasing toughness by increasing the degree of hydrogen bonding in the cured resin. Therefore, one method for increasing the toughness of thiol-ene photopolymer resins is to synthesize monomers or oligomers which contain urethane bonds.
- allyl-functional urethane monomers are synthesized by the stoichiometrically balanced reaction between di-functional isocyanate monomers such as, but not limited to, isophorone diisocyanate (IDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate (TMHDI), 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, dicyclohexylmethane 4,4′-Diisocyanate (HMDI), or N,N′,N′′-Tris(6-isocyanatohexyl)isocyanurate and a hydroxyl or amine functional allyl monomer such as, but not limited to, 2-allyloxyethanol, allyl alcohol, and allylamine with or without the presence of a suitable catalyst such as, but not limited to, dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL).

- Such allyl urethanes are shown to significantly improve the tensile strength and maximum elongation without breaking of thiol-ene resins in comparison to printable resins made with commercially available allyl monomers and oligomers.
- Uniaxial tensile tests for cured thiol-ene resins containing commercial allyl monomers and the above-synthesized allyl urethane monomer are shown in FIG. 2 .
- the tensile strength of the allyl urethane material is approximately 10 times higher and the elongation is 5 times higher than the commercial allyl material.
- the viscosity of the printable resins is highly dependent on the formulation and structure of the synthesized allyl monomer.
- the temperature-dependent viscosity of the raw allyl monomers are shown in FIG. 3 . Viscosity decreases as the monomer becomes less sterically hindered, although monomers with too little hindrance are subject to crystallization at lower temperatures.

Description
- This application is a continuation of U.S. application Ser. No. 16/655,695, filed Oct. 17, 2019, which claims priority to, and the benefit of, U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/746,730, filed Oct. 17, 2018, the entire contents of each of which are herein incorporated by reference.
- The invention relates generally to 3D inkjet printing and more specifically to the printable compositions used in a 3D inkjet printer.
- Additive manufacturing is a set of methods that allows objects to be fabricated via selective addition of material. A typical additive manufacturing process works by slicing a digital model (for example, represented using a stereolithography file (STL)) into a series of layers. The layers are sent to a fabrication apparatus that deposits the layers one by one from the bottom to the top. Additive manufacturing is rapidly gaining popularity in a variety of markets including automotive, aerospace, medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and industrial tooling.
- The growth of additive manufacturing processes has led to various iterations of such processes being commercialized, including extrusion processes, such as fused deposition modeling® (FDM®), light polymerization processes, such as stereolithography apparatus (SLA) and multijet/polyjet, powder bed fusion processes, such as selective laser sintering (SLS) or binder jetting, and lamination processes, such as laminated object manufacturing (LOM). Nevertheless, despite this growth and rapid progress, additive manufacturing has limitations, such as the materials that can be used in conjunction with such processes. There are limited types of materials, and the performance of the materials limit the efficiency and quality of the resulting object.
- Inkjet 3D printing is a method of additive manufacturing where printheads deposit droplets of liquid printable resins. Printheads are typically mounted on a gantry system to allow deposition of printable resins in different locations of the build volume. The build platform may also move with respect to the printheads, which may be stationary. The liquid printable resin is solidified using UV or visible light radiation.
- Multiple printheads can be used in one system in order to build objects with multiple base materials. For example, materials that have different optical, mechanical, thermal, and electromagnetic properties can be used. These materials can be combined to achieve composite materials with a wide range of properties.
- The UV-curing unit is typically one of the subsystems used within an inkjet additive manufacturing apparatus. UV radiation provides the means of solidifying printable resins via photo-initiation of the polymerization reaction. UV radiation can be supplied by a variety of different mechanisms such as arrays of LEDs and Mercury or Xenon arc lamps. UV-curing is typically applied after each printed layer or after depositing each material within a layer. The UV-curing unit can be fixed with respect to the printer or it can move independently with respect to the object.
- Alternatively, printable resin solidification can be achieved by changes in thermal conditions. For example, a liquid material solidifies as its temperature is lowered. A variety of different printable resins can be used in this category, such as waxes. Both UV-phase change and thermal-phase change printable resins can be combined to manufacture an object.
- When manufactured using an inkjet process, 3D printed objects may need structural support. For example, most objects with overhangs need support structures. Typically, additional print data is generated for these support structures. In inkjet additive manufacturing, typically a separate printable resin is designated as a support material. This printable resin is deposited also using printheads and solidified. It is desirable for the support material to be easily removed after the print is completed. There are many potential support materials, including UV-curable materials that are soluble in water or other solvents, or wax-based materials that can be removed by melting.
- After the printing process is completed, parts are typically post-processed. For example, support material may need to be removed. The parts might also need to be post-processed to improve their mechanical or thermal properties. This may include thermal treatment and/or additional UV exposure.
- Printable resins suitable for inkjet printing need to conform to certain specifications. The key requirements include: 1) viscosity typically needs to be within 3-15 cps at the operating conditions; 2) surface tension typically should be between 20-45 mN/m; 3) thermal stability—the printable resin should not solidify within the printhead, printable resin container, or feeding system; 4) formulation stability—different components of the printable resin should not separate for a reasonably long time. Printable resins are typically optimized in order to meet the specifications for printing.
- Furthermore, the waveform for driving the printheads must be optimized and adapted for each printable resin. Moreover, many different parameters of the printing process need to be adapted for individual printable resins, such as printhead and printable resin pre-heating.
- In many cases, printable resins may include additives. These additives include colorants in the form of dyes or pigments or the mixture of pigments and dyes that are dispersed or dissolved in the printable resin. Surfactants may also be used to adjust the surface tension of the printable resin for improved jetting or printing performance. In addition, other types of particles or additives may be used in order to enhance the mechanical, thermal or optical characteristics of the cured resin.
- Most currently available photo-curable printable resins for inkjet 3D printers are based on (meth)acrylate chemistry. (Meth)acrylates are popular due to a wide variety of available monomers and oligomers, low cost, and rapid cure rate. Resins ranging from soft elastomers to hard, brittle materials are available for use. However, acrylate-based materials are often unsuitable for applications requiring high stiffness, thermal resistance, or dimensional stability.
- Acrylic photopolymers cure via a radical mediated chain growth mechanism. As a result, acrylic photopolymers will gel at low degrees of cure. Full cure is difficult to achieve and leads to significant shrinkage and warping as the degree of cure increases. This becomes more severe as lower-functionality acrylic monomers are used, which are necessary to achieve materials with high extensibility. Acrylate-functionalized high molecular weight oligomers may be used to make tough, elastic materials at the expense of large increases of the viscosity of the uncured resin. Thus, it is very challenging to formulate acrylic photopolymers that are processable in 3D printing systems, yet still cure at high degrees of conversion into tough, highly extensible materials.
- Thiol-ene chemistry is a well-known reaction scheme in which a thiol will add to an unsaturated carbon-carbon bond. This reaction has been used to develop photopolymer resins for applications such as dental cement and implantable medical devices. Polymerization may take place under radical or basic conditions, although the radical reaction is faster by several orders of magnitude.
- What is needed is a printable material that has increased strength relative to that of the readily available allyl monomers. The present invention addresses this need.
- Although thiol-enes are well-known, for a variety of reasons, their use in jetted inks is not. Thiol-ene resins cure via a step-growth mechanism and are significantly less sensitive to oxygen inhibition than acrylic photopolymers. This step-growth polymerization delays the gel point in comparison to chain-growth reactions. Combined with lower oxygen sensitivity, this causes thiol-ene photopolymers to cure to higher degrees of conversion than acrylic photopolymers while displaying significantly less shrinkage and warping. This also provides more precise control over the polymer crosslink density, allowing resins with high elongation and elasticity at low viscosities. However, merely substituting thiol-ene based materials for more conventional photo-curable printable resins such as acrylic photopolymers for inkjet 3D printers will not generally provide a useful jetted ink for 3D printers. Because a thiol-ene resin for ink jet printing requires lower viscosities than other photopolymer 3D printing methods, it is only through careful formulation of particular compositions and reaction characteristics will one realize thiol-ene resins that are suitable and useful in the UV inkjet 3D printing space.
- There are a wide range of commercially available thiol and alkene monomers and oligomers suitable for use in 3D deposition of printable resins. One of the primary providers of thiol monomers is Bruno Bock Thiochemicals (Eicholzer Straβe 23, 21436 Marschacht, Germany), which manufactures a wide range of thiol-functional materials. Example monomers that are useful for photopolymer resins are glycol di(3-mercaptopropionate) [GDMP], trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) [TMPMP], and pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) [PETMP]. Other monomers, such as 3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol [DODT] produced by Arkema Inc. (900 First Avenue, King of Prussia, Pa., USA) are also suitable as monomers. Costs for these monomers are competitive with prices for acrylic monomers and oligomers.
- Many types of suitable alkene monomers can be polymerized with thiols, such as acrylates, vinyls, allyls, and norbornenes. The polymerization kinetics, stability, and properties vary widely based on the particular type of alkene monomer that is used in the resin. Generally, the stability of the mixed resin is inversely proportional to the electron deficiency of the alkene. Highly electron-deficient alkenes such as vinyls are less stable with thiols than more electron-rich allyl monomers. Polymer homogeneity has a similar relationship, as electron-deficient alkenes will have a higher tendency to homopolymerize upon curing instead of stoichiometrically reacting with thiols. As a result, allyl-functional monomers tend to have better stability with thiols while retaining high reaction rates and cure homogeneity. Resins stabilized using phosphonic acid and radical inhibitors can have pot life similar to that of acrylic resins.
- By carefully selecting the composition materials for the inkjet 3D formulation, a composition that is stable over long periods of time, with relatively low viscosity and that has a desirable mode of polymerization can result in an ink that is suitable for 3-D printing. Furthermore, elastomeric materials have not, in general, been used in 3D printing. However, with feedback approaches, such as described in U.S. Pat. No. 10,456,984 and US 2016/0167306, both of which are incorporated by reference, may be desirable and attainable with the above-described properties.
- One aspect of the invention is composition suitable for 3-D printing. In one embodiment, the composition comprises a photopolymer comprising one or more thiol monomer, one or more alkene monomer, and a polymerization initiator. In another embodiment, the thiol monomer is selected from the group consisting of: glycol di(3-mercaptopropionate) [GDMP]; trimethylolpropane tris(3-mercaptopropionate) [TMPMP]; pentaerythritol tetrakis(3-mercaptopropionate) [PETMP] and 3,6-dioxa-1,8-octanedithiol [DODT]. In yet another embodiment, the alkene monomer comprises: an allyl-functional urethane/urea monomer synthesized from an isocyanate moiety and a hydroxyl or amine functional allyl moiety. In still another embodiment, the hydroxyl or amine functional allyl moiety comprises 2-allyloxyethanol, allyl alcohol, and allylamine. In still yet another embodiment, the isocyanate moiety is selected from the group consisting of: isophorone diisocyanate (IDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate (TMHDI), 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, and dicyclohexylmethane 4,4′-Diisocyanate (HMDI).

FIG. 1 is a depiction of the synthesis reaction of the di(2-allyloxyethyl carbamate) ester of isophorone diisocyanate. -
FIG. 2 is a graph of the tensile stress-strain behavior of thiol-ene printable resins made using commercial allyl monomers and synthesized allyl urethane monomers. -
FIG. 3 is a graph of the viscosity-temperature profiles of various synthesized allyl urethane monomers. -
FIG. 4 is a graph of the viscosity of a thiol-ene printable resin utilizing an allyl urethane monomer at 70° C. over an 18 hour period. -
FIGS. 5A-5F depict preferred embodiments of allyl urethane/urea monomers. HDI and TMHDI are reacted with allyloxyethanol, allyl alcohol, or allylamine - In brief overview, the invention relates to the composition of a new 3D printable material comprising allyl urethanes that have increased strength upon curing.
- As will be described in greater detail below, compositions were formulated with essentially two functionality groups resulting in a material that acts as a chain extender (small amount of tri-functional monomer was added to crosslink the material). Thus, the polymer chain of the material is longer and does not connect to other polymer chains. This characteristic is particularly important for elastomeric materials, which are desired to be more stretchable, rather than more rigid. Such compositions will provide materials that have relatively low viscosity, desirable polymerization characteristics, better curing properties and with increased stability over longer periods of time.
- Urethane bonds have high degrees of hydrogen bonding due to containing both a proton donor and acceptor. Incorporation of urethane bonds into acrylic photopolymers is method of increasing toughness by increasing the degree of hydrogen bonding in the cured resin. Therefore, one method for increasing the toughness of thiol-ene photopolymer resins is to synthesize monomers or oligomers which contain urethane bonds.
- In one embodiment, allyl-functional urethane monomers are synthesized by the stoichiometrically balanced reaction between di-functional isocyanate monomers such as, but not limited to, isophorone diisocyanate (IDI), hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate (TMHDI), 1,3-bis(isocyanatomethyl)cyclohexane, dicyclohexylmethane 4,4′-Diisocyanate (HMDI), or N,N′,N″-Tris(6-isocyanatohexyl)isocyanurate and a hydroxyl or amine functional allyl monomer such as, but not limited to, 2-allyloxyethanol, allyl alcohol, and allylamine with or without the presence of a suitable catalyst such as, but not limited to, dibutyltin dilaurate (DBTDL). The reaction may be accelerated by heating, although temperatures above 70° C. risk the generation of undesirable side products. A representative reaction product between IDI and 2-allyloxyethanol is shown in
FIG. 1 . - Such allyl urethanes are shown to significantly improve the tensile strength and maximum elongation without breaking of thiol-ene resins in comparison to printable resins made with commercially available allyl monomers and oligomers. Uniaxial tensile tests for cured thiol-ene resins containing commercial allyl monomers and the above-synthesized allyl urethane monomer are shown in
FIG. 2 . The tensile strength of the allyl urethane material is approximately 10 times higher and the elongation is 5 times higher than the commercial allyl material. - Printable resins for use in inkjet printing require that the viscosity conform to certain specifications. The viscosity of the printable resins is highly dependent on the formulation and structure of the synthesized allyl monomer. The temperature-dependent viscosity of the raw allyl monomers are shown in
FIG. 3 . Viscosity decreases as the monomer becomes less sterically hindered, although monomers with too little hindrance are subject to crystallization at lower temperatures. None of the monomers measured thus far demonstrate viscosities less than 30 cP, although resin viscosities in the jettable range are achievable when mixed with thiol and/or alkene monomers. An embodiment of a printable resin comprising TMHDI-DA is shown inFIG. 4 with a viscosity in the range of 10 cP at 70° C. The viscosity remains in this range over the course of one day at 70° C. - Viscosity measurements in which an isocyanate-functional monomer, trimethylhexamethylene diisocyanate (TMHDI), is reacted with three different alcohol or amine functional allyl monomers is shown in Table 1 below.
