Abstract An improved method of investigating the mechanical properties of stereolithography resins during the curing -process is described. With this method a typical acrylate material and a common epoxy resin are compared. An example of a finite element analysis shows the suitability of a material model (Burger) to simulate the mechanical stress due to polymerisation stress. (Auth abstract) [References: 4]
