Patent ID: 7378460

Claim:
A method of selective deposition modeling for creating raised and special printing effects using inkjet technology comprising the steps of: depositing on the area selected for the printing effects a UV light curable composition, the composition comprising (i) at least one UV curable urethane (meth)acrylate resin; (ii) at least one linear carbamate wax selected one from the group consisting of the structure C n H (2n+1) NC(O)OC m H (2m) OC(O)C(CH 3) ═CH 2 wherein n is an integer from about 12 to about 18 and m is an integer from about 2 to about 12; the structure C n H (2n+1) (O)OCNC 2 H 4 OOCC(CH 3 )═CH 2 wherein n is an integer from about 4 to about 18 the structure C 18 H 37 NCOOC n H (2n+1) wherein n is an integer from 4 to 16 and combinations thereof; (iii) at least one (meth)acrylate diluent; (iv) at least one photoinitiator; and (v) at least one polymerization inhibitor; wherein the amount of wax (ii) is sufficient to phase change the UV curable composition after jetting; and curing the area with UV light; wherein the amount of material to be deposited corresponds to the area selected for the printing effects and the height of the raised area relative to the medium on which the composition is deposited.
