MOLDING JIG AND MOLDING METHOD

A molding jig for molding a laminate, which comprises reinforced fiber sheets laminated on each other, extends in the length direction, and has a cross-sectional shape having a curved portion in a cross section obtained by cutting the laminate on a plane orthogonal to the length direction, into a three-dimensional shape having a bent portion in the length direction, the molding jig being provided with a female die which has a female-side molding surface for forming the bent portion, a male die which is engaged with the female die with the laminate interposed therebetween and has a male-side molding surface for forming the bent portion, and a stretchable supporting member which is arranged between the female die and the laminate during the molding and can support the laminate while keeping the laminate away from the female die, in which the laminate comes in contact with the male die on both length-direction sides of the molded bent portion during the molding, and the supporting member is arranged over a region including the female-side molding surface as observed in the length direction.
