Abstract
Abstract A resin composition for three-dimensional object by optical stereolithography containing a colorant, such as carbon black, in an amount of 0.05 to 0.5% by weight can provide a colored three-dimensional object which has excellent physical and mechanical properties such as dimensional accuracy, shape stability, hardness and tensile strength and elastic modulus in tension, as well as light-shielding properties, gives a massive impression and is colorful at a high optical shaping speed and in a good productivity.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A method for producing a three-dimensional object by optical stereolithography which comprises irradiating a resin composition which has been poured in a mold having a desired three-dimensional shape to thereby cure the composition in the shape of the mold, said composition being liquid at ambient temperature and comprising a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator present in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight of the composition and a colorant comprising carbon black having an average particle diameter of 200 to 1000 Å and a pH of 7 to 8, said colorant being present in an amount of 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
110 words
A method for producing a three-dimensional object by optical stereolithography which comprises irradiating a resin composition which has been poured in a mold having a desired three-dimensional shape to thereby cure the composition in the shape of the mold, said composition being liquid at ambient temperature and comprising a photopolymerizable compound, a photopolymerization initiator present in an amount of 0.1 to 10% by weight of the composition and a colorant comprising carbon black having an average particle diameter of 200 to 1000 Å and a pH of 7 to 8, said colorant being present in an amount of 0.05 to 0.5% by weight, based on the weight of the composition.
