VACUUM MOLDING MACHINE, SUBSTRATE FOR VACUUM MOLDING MACHINE, AND VACUUM MOLDING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve yields of molded products by preventing occurrence of a mold-abutting phenomenon even when a covered film is in a drawdown state, and by securely preventing a mark of the mold abutting from remaining after molding, and preventing generation of air accumulation and wrinkles.

SOLUTION: A periphery of a surface of the covered body W set on a table 3 is made into a pressure-reduced environment. The vacuum molding machine molds by making a heated decorative film F3 come close to and attaching the decorative film F3 tightly to the surface of the covered body W. A frame part 11 which is projected in a come-close direction of the decorative film F3 at a projection height higher than the maximum height of the covered body is arranged on an outer side of a periphery of the set covered body W. The frame part 11 is in contact with the decorative film F3 earlier than the covered body W when the decorative film F3 is made to come close, and the decorative film F3 is pushed up and stretched on the outer side of the periphery of the covered body W.
