Molded article manufacturing method, molded article, and molded article manufacturing apparatus
An insert member ( 100 ) heated by a heating device ( 13 ) is conveyed, by means of a conveyance device ( 12 ), into a mold ( 51 ). Next, shaping is performed on the insert member ( 100 ) inside the mold ( 51 ), with the mold ( 51 ) being open by a minute distance. A molding material ( 91 ) is injected into the mold ( 51 ) and pressed while closing the mold ( 51 ) which has been open by the minute distance to thereby mold a molded article ( 80 ) including the insert member ( 100 ).
1. A molded article manufacturing method comprising:
conveying, by use of a conveyance device, a thermoplastic prepreg, heated by a heating device, into a mold including a stationary die and a movable die;
shaping the thermoplastic prepreg inside the mold, with the mold being open by a distance, where the distance between the movable die and the stationary die is 0.5 to 3 mm; and
injecting a molding material into the mold and pressing while closing the mold which has been open by the distance to thereby mold a molded article including the thermoplastic prepreg.
2. A molded article manufacturing method comprising:
conveying, by use of a conveyance device, a thermoplastic prepreg, heated by a heating device, into a mold including a stationary die and a movable die;
shaping the thermoplastic prepreg inside the mold; and
afterwards opening the mold to a degree, where the degree between the movable die and the stationary die is 0.05 to 3 mm, and injecting a molding material into the mold to thereby mold a molded article including the thermoplastic prepreg.
3. A molded article manufactured by the molded article manufacturing method according to claim 1 .
