Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure provides a photopolymerizable composition comprising 50-90 wt % of at least one urethane component, 5-50 wt % of at least one reactive diluent, 0.1-5 wt % of a photoinitiator, and optionally an inhibitor, wherein said composition has a viscosity at a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius of 10 Pa·s or less, as determined using a magnetic bearing rheometer using a 40 mm cone and plate measuring system at a shear rate of 0.1 l/s. The present disclosure also provides an article including the reaction product of the photopolymerizable composition, in which the article exhibits an elongation at break of 25% or greater. Further, the present disclosure provides a method of making an article including (i) providing a photopolymerizable composition and (ii) selectively curing the photopolymerizable composition to form an article. The method optionally also includes (iii) curing unpolymerized urethane component and/or reactive diluent remaining after step (ii). Further, methods are provided, including receiving, by a manufacturing device having one or more processors, a digital object comprising data specifying an article; and generating, with the manufacturing device by an additive manufacturing process, the article based on the digital object. A system is also provided, including a display that displays a 3D model of an article; and one or more processors that, in response to the 3D model selected by a user, cause a 3D printer to create a physical object of an article.
