4. Conclusions
- (1)
- The samples printed using P1, P2, and C remained solid throughout the CSAM process. During the progressive curing, the samples printed using C showed better deformation resistance than those using P1 and P2, and the mechanical properties after the progressive curing were comparable to those using low temperature-rate curing methods, while the curing time was reduced from 16.7 h to 1.5 h.
- (2)
- During the CSAM process, severe plastic deformation occurred because of the high-speed particle impact, accompanied by heat generation, which led to local melting to promote a good bond at the contact surface of the particles and form small pores.
- (3)
- During the stepwise curing process, the sequential curing reactions of P1 and P2 components in composite C allowed the uncured P2 and cured P1 to alternately remain solid, providing structural support and minimizing deformation in the stepwise curing process.
