Fast-eluting three-dimensionally molded object, filament for fast-eluting three-dimensionally molded object, and material for fast-eluting three-dimensionally molded object

A method for making a fast-eluting three-dimensionally (3-D) molded object by fused deposition modeling, the method comprising:

• admixing an active component with a water-soluble thermoplastic polymer, a water-soluble sugar and/or a water-soluble sugar alcohol, and a plasticizer component to form a material for a 3-D molded object, wherein the water-soluble sugar and/or the water-soluble sugar alcohol is selected from a group consisting of maltitol, xylitol, mannitol, erythritol, sorbitol, and lactitol;
• compressing and melt-kneading the material for a 3-D molded object in an extruder to form an extruded material;
• subjecting the extruded material to injection molding to produce a filament;
• and
• extruding the filament and molding a fast-eluting 3-D molded object by lamination on a 3-D molding stage by fused deposition modeling (FDM).
