`
`in order to obtain a molded article having a three-dimensional shape or a

`no expensrve molds can be produced to yield low molding at relatively low cost,
`it can cope with frequent changes in the specifications of the molding.
`dimensionai accuracy that a high molding was obtained, and has advantages
`such that it is possible to manufacture a molded product having a complicated
`shape and a large thickness which is not suitable for iniection molding
`
`However, in any plastic material or extrudate, it is not suitable for the material
`for machining, The material for machining. for example, it is excellent in
`mechanical workability in thickness the residual stress is small

`
`The machining of polymeric material, in general, most of the processmg
`methods used in the metallic material is used as is. Be formed by extruding,
`conventional film or sheet, iarge flexibility in thin such tubes are not suitable for
`mechanical processing such as cutting, Even extrudate having a shape, such
`as thickness or diameter is large flat or round bar. extrudate residual stress
`during extrusion is too large. easiiy deformed after the time of machining or
`machining, dimensional accuracy it is difficult to obtain a high secondary
`molding Restriual stress may be an extruded product with reduced. cutting,
`driil--ng which tends to generate cracks or cracks at the time of mechanicall

`
`To obtain material for machining with characteristics suitable for machining by

`for material for machining. various proposals have been made,
`
`For example. Patent Document 1, polyetheretherketone, poiyetherimide,

`articles, such as bottles. application deployment have been made to such as
`injection molding. in recent years, it is also required increased for application to
`a biodegradable plastic of machining for the material.
`
`Poiylactic actd is known as a representative biodegradable plastic, because it
`has a moderate rate of degradation, depending on the application and the
`environment it is a biodegradable plastic which are preferably used. Furtherr
