An automatic lay-up machine (10) includes a head device (11) and a support mechanism (12). The head device (11) includes a sheet supplying unit (2) that supplies a long prepreg sheet (15) including sheet-shaped prepreg (15a) and release paper (15b) bonded to a surface of the prepreg (15a), a lay-up unit (3) that lays up the prepreg (15a) on a receiving surface (17a) by pressing the prepreg sheet (15) against the receiving surface (17a), and a sheet take-up unit (4) that takes up the release paper (15b) separated from the prepreg (15a). The support mechanism (12) supports the head device (11) and includes a mechanism for moving the head device (11) at least in a lay-up direction of the prepreg (15a) and a width direction of the prepreg sheet (15). The head device (11) is moved in the width direction while the head device (11) is in a state in which a position of an edge of the prepreg sheet (15) coincides with a lay-up position and an end portion of the prepreg sheet (15) is pressed against the receiving surface (17a). |
