To realize at least one of partial sharing of a laminate feeder and a laminated-molded product delivery device, lowering of work load applied on a worker, reduction in consumption of a film and reduction of the overall length of an apparatus, in a method of manufacturing the laminated-molded product comprising the steps of placing the laminate or a laminated-molded product on the film for placing the laminate or the laminated-molded product, transferring the film to feed the laminate into a space between an upper platen and a lower platen of a laminating-molding unit, heating and pressing the laminate through a film body or the film in a vacuum molding chamber and delivering the laminated/molded product from the apparatus for manufacturing the laminated/molded product and the apparatus.

First, the laminate P1 is heated and pressed through the filmy bodies 18 and 22 or the films F1 and F2, and the film F1 on which the laminate P1 or the laminate-molded product is placed is transferred oppositely to the direction of feeding the lamination material P1. After that, the laminated-molded product P2 is delivered out of a feed/delivery opening 25 formed in one side of the laminating-molding unit 12.
