PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a molding device designed for cutting the manufacturing cost of moldings and increasing the productivity and upgrading the shaping properties as well as a molding method. SOLUTION: A molding material 25 composed of a heat-plastic material is heated by the heating elements 35 and 36 of a heating means 26 in such a state that the molding material 25 is nipped between a pair of molding frames 24a and 24b with the peripheral parts of sheet bodies 22a and 22b composed of a flexible and heat-resistant material held by frame bodies 23a and 23b. Further, the thermally softened molding material 25 is placed, in such a state that it is nipped by the molding frames 24a and 24b, on the molding die faces 27 of a plurality of platelike support members 28. In addition a suction force is guided into a space 31 between the platelike support members 28 with the help of a suction means 32 and thus the molding material 25 is shaped.
