PHOTOPOLYMERS. IN BRIEF.
What you see above are examples of 3D printed products. These products use the photopolymer technology and have special characteristics. As you can see the products are very high quality and useable.
Photopolymers are polymers which can change its properties when exposed to ultra-violent light or extreme exposure to bright light. This can change the chemical composition and properties of the polymer to make it a solid by connecting the monomers with the oligomers. An example is, the Creopop in which 3 LEDS shine ultraviolet light onto the photopolymer induced materials which solidify, causing the monomers to connect with the oligomers. This allows the material inside the Creopop to solidify almost immediately, enabling people to create 3D drawings in mid-air.
The process of the monomers connecting with the oligomers is called curing. Photo initiators might be used in the process of ‘curing’ to help connect the monomers with the oligomers by absorbing and spreading out the light throughout the material. This means that they have a solid property.
