Disclosed is a curable composition for the manufacture, by stereolithography, of a green part made of a ceramic or metallic material, the curable composition including at least one ceramic and/or metallic powder; at least one polymerizable monomer and/or oligomer; at least one initiator for the polymerization of the polymerizable monomer(s) and/or oligomer(s). The initiator(s) are selected from iodonium, sulphonium and diazonium salts and onium salts in combination with at least one amine and/or at least one phosphine to form a charge transfer complex. The initiator(s) may generate the initiation of a thermal polymerization under the exposure to at least one source of UV, visible or IR irradiation.
