    Abstract: The present invention relates to photocurable compositions, comprising a limonene-based (meth)acrylate (A) obtainable by reacting a) 1 equivalent of a compound of formula, especially (I) with 1 to 3 equivalents of a compound of formula (II) in the presence of a catalyst and an inhibitor at elevated temperature and its use in a photopolymerization 3D printing process. The limonene-based (meth)acrylate (A) significantly increases stiffness and glass transition temperatures of photo-cured acrylate compositions. While such effects are usually achieved with the use of aromatic or bisphenol A based compounds, the limonene-based (meth)acrylate (A) offers a sustainable alternative at much lower viscosity.
