Abstract
The invention relates to an acrylic copolymer composition useful for 3-D printing, that can be formed into a uniform filament and 3-D printed using material extrusion additive manufacturing, into an article having low warpage, low shrinkage, good internal optical properties, and good mechanical properties. The acrylic copolymer has a low Tg, providing the proper stiffness for good 3-D printing. The invention also relates to the printing and processing of the acrylic composition where internally transparent 3-D printed thermoplastic parts can be produced at a reasonable rate (>0.05 mm per layer) with good/great layer adhesion, and near isotropic properties.
