PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a molding apparatus and a molding method that can uniformly coat an internal wall surface of a mold with a lubricant, for example when the lubricant is in a fluid state in the mold of high temperature.SOLUTION: A molding apparatus includes a mold 10 and an aligning mechanism 20. The mold 10 is equipped with an outer die 1 having a hollow 2 and with two punches 11, 12 movably arranged relatively to the outer die 1 in the hollow 2 of the outer die 1. In the mold 10, a cavity 5 is enclosed by the end faces 11a, 12a of the two punches 11, 12 facing each other and an inner peripheral surface 2b of the hollow 2 of the outer die 1. When at least one punch of the two punches 11, 12 moves relatively to the outer die 1, the aligning mechanism 20 guides the punch so that an axis L1 of at least one punch of the two punches 11,12 coincides with an axis L of the hollow 2 of the outer die 1. |
