Abstract

A filament for three-dimensional modeling includes a first resin; a second resin; a fiber; and a compatibilizing agent, wherein a fiber coated with the second resin is dispersed in a matrix formed of the first resin, the compatibilizing agent is interposed between the first resin and the second resin, a thickness of a coating layer formed of the second resin is 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less, and a content rate of the second resin with respect to a total weight of the first resin, the second resin, and the compatibilizing agent is 30% by weight or more and 50% by weight or less, or 5% by weight or more and 15% by weight or less.

Claims (47)
