Abstract

The present invention provides a resin composition for a model material, for obtaining an optically shaped article that has flexibility and does not crack even when it is bent, and a method for manufacturing optically shaped articles that are shaped using the resin composition for a model material. The present invention relates to a resin composition for a model material, comprising, based on 100 parts by weight of a whole resin composition, 20 to 90 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylate monomer represented by the following formula (1) and/or a (meth)acrylate monomer represented by the following formula (2) as a monofunctional monomer (A), and 5 parts by weight or more of a polyfunctional oligomer as an oligomer (B), and further comprises no or 15 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the whole resin composition, of polyfunctional monomer (C), wherein R 1 , R 2 and R 3 each independently represent a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms.

Claims (16)

1. A resin composition for a model material, which is used for shaping a model material by an inkjet optical shaping method and comprises a monofunctional monomer (A) and an oligomer (B) as photocurable components, wherein the resin composition comprises,

based on 100 parts by weight of a whole resin composition,

20 to 90 parts by weight of a (meth)acrylate monomer represented by the following formula (1) as the (A) component, and

5 parts by weight or more of a polyfunctional oligomer as the (B) component,

and further comprises no or 15 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the whole resin composition, of a polyfunctional monomer (C) as a photocurable component,

wherein R 1 represents a hydrogen atom or a linear or branched alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbon atoms, and

wherein the (B) component has a hydroxyl group or an amino group,

wherein a weight average molecular weight Mw of the oligomer (B) is 1,000 to 10,000, and

wherein a total molar fraction of the hydroxyl group and the amino group in a total amount of the photocurable components (A), (B) and (C) is less than 5.0%.

2. The resin composition for a model material according to claim 1 , wherein the polyfunctional oligomer is one or more species selected from the group consisting of a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, an epoxy (meth)acrylate oligomer, and a polyester (meth)acrylate oligomer.

3. The resin composition for a model material according to claim 1 , wherein a content of the (meth)acrylate monomer represented by the formula (1) is 25 parts by weight or more based on 100 parts by weight of the whole resin composition.

4. A model material comprising a cured product of the resin composition according to claim 1 .

5. A method for manufacturing optically shaped articles by an inkjet optical shaping method, the method comprising:

a step (I) of photocuring the resin composition for a model material according to claim 1 to obtain a model material and, at the same time, photocuring a resin composition for a support material to obtain a support material; and

a step (II) of removing the support material.

6. The resin composition for a model material according to claim 1 , wherein the weight average molecular weight Mw of the oligomer (B) is 3,000 to 10,000.
