PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for trimming a skin material by which the making of a mold can be simplified and the remodeling of the mold for changing the trimming shape can be minimized and a device for trimming the skin material. SOLUTION: This method enables the skin material to be stuck to the surface of a base material molded to a specified shape, then vacuum-molds these materials and trims the surplus portion of the skin material. That is, the method comprises a process of disposing the base material on a base receiving part and keeping the base material as it is, a process of carrying the skin material into a position between a top mold and a bottom mold, a process of sticking the skin material on the surface of the base material by clamping both top and bottom molds and vacuum-molding the materials, a process of carrying an intermediate platen into a position between the top and bottom molds after opening both molds apart, and a process of trimming the surplus portion of the skin material in the state that the skin material is pinched between the intermediate platen and the bottom mold.
