  • Patent number: 12583174
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a thermosetting material for use in additive manufacturing, the material comprising at least one thermosetting resin and at least two curing compounds different from said thermosetting resin that are able to cure this/these thermosetting resin(s), wherein at least one curing compound is provided for curing during the additive manufacturing process and at least one curing compound is provided for curing during a post-curing step. The invention furthermore relates to a method of producing a cured 3D thermoset object comprising at least the steps of subjecting the material according to the present invention to an additive manufacturing process, obtaining a partially cured 3D thermoset object and subsequently subjecting the partially cured 3D thermoset object to a post-curing process to further cure the 3D thermoset object Additionally, the invention relates to the use of the material in an SLS, FFF, CBAM, FGF or powder bed additive manufacturing process.
