<p>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an FRP molded article in which an exterior design surface is decorated by a decorative sheet and is decorated without impairing appearance quality, while permitting a convex shape formation, such as boss and rib, by using a thermoplastic FRP.SOLUTION: A decorative molding apparatus includes a mold made up of a first mold (1) and a second mold (2). A decorative sheet (4) and a thermoplastic FRP (5) composed of reinforced fiber and thermoplastic matrix resin are disposed in the order named from the first mold (1) side in the mold. The mold includes a heating circuit (6), a cooling circuit (7), and a control section (50) to heat, press, and cool the thermosetting FRP (5) in a state in which temperature of the second mold (2) is higher than temperature of the first mold (1) by controlling the heating circuit (6) and the cooling circuit (7). An FRP flow on the second mold (2) is made more active than an FRP flow on the first mold (1) having the exterior design surface (3).</p> |
