COMPOSITION FOR USE IN 3D PRINTING
A photocurable polymer composition for use with a three dimensional printing process and a method of manufacture of such composition. The composition includes a photocurable resin and a filler and can be tunable to a desired dielectric constant. The filler comprises about 0 to about 30 weight percent of the composition.
1 . A photocurable polymer composition for use in a three-dimensional printer comprising:
a photocurable resin;
a filler;
wherein said filler ranges from About 0 to about 30 weight percent of the composition and said photocurable polymer composition has a desired dielectric constant.
2 . The composition as recited in claim 1 , whereOIN the photocurable resin is an acrylate.
3 . The composition as recited in claim 1 , wherein the photocurable resin is an olefin.
4 . The composition as recited in claim 1 , wherein the filler is chosen from the group consisting of inorganic or organic fillers.
5 . The composition as recited in claim 3 , wherein the inorganic fillers are chosen from the group comprising of mica, titanium dioxide and magnesium oxide.
6 . The composition as recited in claim 4 , wherein the fillers comprise a mixture of mica and magnesium oxide.
7 . A method of preparing a photocurable composition having a desired dielectric constant for use in a three-dimensional printer comprising adding filler to a photocurable resin and dispersing uniformly the filler in such photocurable resin.
8 . A part manufactured using a three-dimensional printer using a photocurable composition comprising a photocurable resin with filler dispersed uniformly in such resin to achieve a desired dielectric constant.
9 . The composition of claim 1 , wherein the photocurable resin is an epoxy.
