Abstract: A method for manufacturing a part includes fabricating, in an additive fabrication stage, an object including build material for the part in a semi-solid state, the build material including a polymerization initiation catalyst separated from a monomer by a semi-solid component, a mold forming a cavity comprising a completed shape of the part and containing the build material, and curing the part, in a curing stage that occurs after the additive fabrication stage, the curing including heating the object to a first temperature sufficient to liquify the semi-solid component of the build material while maintaining a shape of the mold, liquification of the semi-solid component causing initiation of a polymerization mechanism by mixing the polymerization initiation catalyst with the monomer.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to combinations, build materials, and kits containing vinyl sulfonyl agents for thiol-ene polymerization. The present disclosure also relates to uses of the combinations, materials, and kits, e.g., in 3D printing.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a part includes fabricating an object in an additive fabrication stage, the object including a solid mold forming a cavity in the shape of a part with uncured or incompletely cured build material disposed therein. The build material in the cavity is cured in a curing stage that occurs at least partially after the additive fabrication stage. The build material undergoes a phase change mechanism occurring during the additive fabrication stage and a distinct polymerization mechanism occurring during the curing stage and at least partly after the additive fabrication stage of the object and cures the build material by a polymerization process.
