Working in reverse order, I believe that...

K = keytone
E = bound to be ethyl
M = ....erm, could do with help here.

Stratasys have also experiented with a methylene chloride solution (50%
methylene chloride, 50% Trichloroethylene, and 1% methyl methacrylate
monomer) - I assume this is not the same as MEK!
