Method for producing molded body

Provided is a method for producing a molded body that is capable of effectively and accurately producing a molded body from a composite substrate made of a fiber-reinforced resin containing a thermosetting resin and reinforcing fibers. The method includes shaping the composite substrate with the a thermosetting resin in an uncured state into a three-dimensional shape at a site different from wherea molding unit is located; conveying the composite substrate to the molding unit so as to maintain the three-dimensional shape thereof; then, placing the conveyed composite substrate on a molding surface of a lower die formed to suit the three-dimensional shape, so as to maintain the three-dimensional shape thereof; and pressing the composite substrate placed on the lower die with an upper die while heated, thereby curing the thermosetting resin and forming the molded body. 本发明提供种能够由含有热固性树脂与强化纤维的纤维强化树脂所构成的复合基材高效且高精度地制造成形件的成形件制造方法。在上述成形件制造方法中，在与成形装置(40)的下模(41)不同的位置将热固性树脂处于未固化的状态的复合基材赋形为立体形状，并以保持复合基材(F)的立体形状的方式将其输送至成形装
