Patent ID: 8361376

Claim:
A method for manufacturing a transparent three-dimensional object, comprising: forming a fabricating surface of an actinic radiation-curable resin composition; irradiating the fabricating surface with an actinic radiation ray to form a cured resin layer having a shaped pattern; repeating a fabricating procedure including providing the actinic radiation-curable resin composition on the cured resin layer to form a fabricating surface; and irradiating the fabricating surface with an actinic radiation ray to form a cured resin layer having a shaped pattern, wherein the transparent three-dimensional object includes a plurality of stacked cured resin layers each having a shaped pattern, an unevenness degree of at least a part of an uneven portion at a fabricated edge of the transparent three-dimensional object being reduced by segregation of a component included in the actinic radiation-curable resin composition and/or a material originated from the component such that the fabricated edge is smoothed, wherein the actinic radiation-curable resin composition comprises the component which is segregated to the fabricated edge of a cured resin layer when the cured resin layer is formed; a cationic polymerizable organic compound; a radical polymerizable organic compound; a photo cationic-polymerization initiator; and a photo radical-polymerization initiator, which are different from the segregated component, wherein the component segregated to the fabricated edge of the cured resin layer includes at least one compound selected from (A) to (E): (A) a (meth)acrylate compound having at least one group selected from a long-chain alkyl group which has 8 or more carbon atoms and which is optionally branched, and a long-chain alkenyl group which has 8 or more carbon atoms and which is optionally branched; (B) an epoxy compound having at least one group selected from a long-chain alkyl group which has 8 or more carbon atoms and which is optionally branched, and a long-chain alkenyl group which has 8 or more carbon atoms and which is optionally branched; (C) a hindered phenol compound; (D) a dialkyl phthalate compound which has an alkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms: and (E) a trialkyl trimellitate compound which has an alkyl group having 8 or more carbon atoms; and wherein a content of the component segregated to the fabricated edge of the cured resin layer when the cured resin layer is formed is 1 to 20 wt % of a total weight of the actinic radiation-curable resin composition.
