FORMING MOLD, AND MOLDING METHOD

摘要

Provided is a shaping mold, which is constituted to mainly comprise a mold surface shell layer (15) having a mold surface (32) conforming to the shape of a composite molding, and a support (16) for supporting the mold surface shell layer (15). This mold surface shell layer (15) is made of an air-permeable material, and places a prepreg member (34) on its mold surface (32). The prepreg member (34) is then covered with an air-impermeable vacuum bag film (35), thereby to evacuate a cavity portion (30) of the support (16). The mold surface shell layer (15) is made so air-permeable that the air existing over the mold surface (32) is discharged to the inside of the cavity portion (30) through the mold surface shell layer (15). As a result, the prepreg member (34) is pushed onto the mold surface (32) by the atmospheric pressure outside of the vacuum bag film (35) so that it is firmly fixed.
