In the world of 3D printing, the word photopolymer gets (increasingly) thrown around a lot. But what is a photopolymer, really? Yes, it’s a liquid that’s ‘cured’ into a solid via light, but what makes it do that? Here, we’ll discuss the polymerization process and the two primary ingredients of photopolymers: monomers and oligomers. Additionally, […]An Introduction to Oligomers for 3D Printing Inks & Coatings
