PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical element molding equipment and a molding method enabled to produce an optical element in a high production yield by making it reluctant to receive the influence of the temperature distribution of a plate. ! SOLUTION: In an optical element molding equipment, a molding tool 50, in which an optical material is placed between upper die and a lower die, is sequentially transferred to heating, pressing and cooling stages 3, 4 and 5 thereby to mold an optical element. The optical element molding equipment comprises a plurality of sets of plates of vertically paired heating plates 3b, press plates 4b and cooling plates 5b for performing the heading, pressing and cooling processes individually for the molding tools mounted for vertically paired heating plates 3b, press plates 4b and cooling plates 5b. When the circular mounting regions corresponding to the bounded faces of the molding blocks to be mounted are divided on the mounting face of the molding tool 50 of the cooli |
