FRP MOLDING SYSTEM AND METHOD

Provided is an FRP molding system 100 with which FRP material 2, in which a plurality of prepregs 1 are stacked, is molded to manufacture an arc-shaped FRP component 3. The FRP molding system 100 comprises an inner jig plate 10 and an outer jig plate 12, a partial pressing device 20, and transfer devices 30. The inner jig plate 10 and the outer jig plate 12 are arc-shaped members, and have an outer surface 10b and an inner surface 12a that respectively fit with an inner surface shape 3a and an outer surface shape 3b of the FRP component 3. The FRP material 2 is sandwiched between the inner jig plate 10 and the outer jig plate 12 to form an integrated jig plate 14. The partial pressing device 20 intermittently compresses a portion of the integrated jig plate 14 in a radial direction orthogonal to an arc of the FRP component 3 so that the FRP component 3 is partially molded. The transfer devices 30 intermittently moves the compressed portion (pressed portion 15) of the integrated jig plate 14 by the partial pressing device 20. By repeating the partial pressing and the transport, the entire integrated jig plate 14 is compressed to form the entire FRP component 3.
