Abstract
A three-dimensional modeled object to be manufactured by additive manufacturing includes a plurality of segments, a hinge structure that couples two adjacent segments among the segments, and a fitting structure including an external fitting portion and an internal fitting portion. The external fitting portion is configured to fit to the internal fitting portion. The three-dimensional modeled object is configured to be displaced between a folded position and an assembled position by the hinge structure. The assembled position is a position in which the three-dimensional modeled object is assembled from the folded position. The three-dimensional modeled object is held in the assembled position by fitting the external fitting portion to the internal fitting portion when the three-dimensional modeled object is in the assembled position.
