FORMING DEVICE AND FORMING METHOD

Provided is a forming device including: a lower die; an upper die for forming a laminated body along the surface shape of the lower die by pressing the laminated body against the lower die; a pushing force generating mechanism that generates pushing force for pressing the upper die against the lower die; and a control unit that controls the pushing force generating mechanism, the upper die has a plurality of forming members aligned in the longitudinal direction, the pushing force generating mechanism has a plurality of pushing force generating units connected to the plurality of forming members and configured to generate pushing force for pressing the forming members against the lower die, and the control unit controls the plurality of pushing force generating units so as to press a pair of forming members arranged adjacent in the longitudinal direction toward the lower die at different timings from each other.
