MOLD AND METHOD FOR MOLDING COMPOSITE MATERIAL SHEET

摘要

PURPOSE:To obtain a good molded article without generating the wrinkles and slackening of a composite material sheet and the damage of a reinforcing fiber when the composite material sheet containing a thermoplastic resin and the reinforcing fiber is formed into a container shape by press molding using a mold. CONSTITUTION:Groove-shaped cavities 7 capable of receiving the unnecessary parts of a composite material sheet 3 generated when the composite material sheet 3 is changed from a planar shape to a container shape are provided to a mold. In a molding method, the composite material sheet is subjected to press molding while the unnecessary parts thereof are received in the groove- shaped cavities 7.
