1. A radiation-curable silicone composition for additive-manufacturing technology comprising
mercapto-functional polyorganosiloxane(s) as Component A,
organosiloxane(s) with at least two aliphatic unsaturated carbon-carbon moieties as Component B,
photo-initiator(s) as Component C for initiating a curing reaction between Component A and Component B,
dye(s) as Component D dissolved in mercapto-functional polyorganosiloxane(s) as Component E, the mercapto-functional polyorganosiloxane(s) having a fraction of (mercaptoalkyl)methylsiloxane units of at least 50 mol %,
wherein Component D is dissolved in Component E before Component D is combined with the other components of the radiation-curable silicone composition.
