A method of forming a dual cure three-dimensional object by additive manufacturing may be carried out by mixing a first precursor liquid and a second precursor liquid to produce a polymerizable liquid comprising a mixture of (i) a light polymerizable liquid first component, and (ii) a second solidifiable component (e.g., a second reactive component) that is different from the first component (e.g., that does not contain a cationic photoinitiator, or is further solidified by a different physical mechanism, or further reacted, polymerized or chain extended by a different chemical reaction). In the foregoing: (i′) at least one reactant of the second solidifiable component is contained in the first precursor liquid, and (ii′) at least one reactant or catalyst of the second solidifiable component is contained in the second precursor liquid. Once mixed, the three-dimensional object may be formed from the resin by a dual cure additive manufacturing process.

A method of forming a three-dimensional object, which method includes a cleaning or washing step, is carried out by: (a) providing a carrier and a fill level, and optionally an optically transparent member having a build surface defining the fill level, the carrier and the fill level having a build region therebetween; (b) filling the build region with a polymerizable liquid, the polymerizable liquid comprising a mixture of (i) a light polymerizable liquid first component, and (ii) a second solidifiable component that is different from the first component; (c) irradiating the build region with light, to form a solid polymer scaffold from the first component and also advancing the carrier away from the build surface to form a three-dimensional intermediate having the same shape as, or a shape to be imparted to, the three-dimensional object and containing the second solidifiable component carried in the scaffold in unsolidified and / or uncured form; (d) washing the three-dimensional intermediate; and (e) concurrently with or subsequent to the irradiating step, and / or the washing step, solidifying and / or curing the second solidifiable component in the three-dimensional intermediate to form the three-dimensional object.

Self-photo-initiating liquid oligomeric compositions are disclosed. The oligomeric compositions are formed from multifunctional mercaptans and Michael addition polyacrylate resins, synthesized from multifunctional acrylates and β-dicarbonyl Michael donors, specifically β-keto esters, β-diketones, β-ketoamides or β-ketoanilides or combinations thereof The oligomeric compositions are provided along with uses thereof and methods of fabricating.

A two component polyurea coating composition that exhibits a dual cure phenomena. The coating composition comprises a polyaspartic ester that is combined together with a polyisocyanate in such a manner that the polyisocyanate is present is an amount that is greater than a normal stoichiometric amount for the polyaspartic ester. By over indexing the polyaspartic ester with the polyisocyanate advantages of moisture curing and or “fast curing” can be combined together in the final finish.

Solvent-based, dual cure coatings incorporating thermally curable blocked polyisocyanates, which also contain unsaturated linkages, and a method for preparing these coatings. The unsaturated linkages, such as acrylate groups, can be crosslinked by free-radical mechanisms such as UV curing.

Provided herein according to some embodiments is a method of forming a three-dimensional object, comprising: (a) forming a first intermediate object from a first polymerizable liquid; (b) forming a second intermediate object from a second polymerizable liquid; (c) optionally washing said first intermediate and said second intermediate; (d) contacting said first intermediate object to said second intermediate object; and then, (e) solidifying and / or curing a second solidifiable component (e.g., said second reactive component) in each of said first and second intermediate objects while said first and second intermediate objects are in contact with one another to couple said first and second intermediate objects to one another and form said three-dimensional object.
