PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a molded object such as an optical element, which has good optical performance by enhancing positional accuracy of optical surfaces, and a mold assembly which can stabilize the molding quality of the molded object. SOLUTION: This mold assembly 1 for forming the molded object by using a thermoplastic resin comprises: a fixed-side mold plate 4; a movable-side mold plate 5; cores 6 which are each embedded in mold plate pockets 40 and 40a of the respective mold plates, and wherein a void 15 is provided between at least either of the cores 6 and a side surface of the mold plate pocket; and a core positioning means which enables the core to be moved in a direction orthogonal to the opening/closing direction of the mold plate 5 with respect to the mold plate 4. All side surfaces of the mold plate pocket, wherein the core is embedded, and all side surfaces of the core are always provided in a noncontact state. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
