To provide an apparatus for manufacturing a thin walled or a large sized ceramics honeycomb structure without causing any deformation in an outer wall and a partition wall of the honeycomb structure, and to provide a method for manufacturing the honeycomb structure.
A molding apparatus 1 for protruding a honeycomb structure 10 having a plurality of cells opened to an end surface in a gravity direction and at least one cradle 4 capable of being transferred are provided. After urging to place the honeycomb structure 10 elongated by extrusion on the cradle 4 by a pressure smaller than a compression strength on the end surface by the cell opening end surface 9, the honeycomb structure 10 is molded while the cradle 4 is transferred at a speed of keeping a contact pressure state in the same direction Y as a longitudinal direction Z of the honeycomb structure 10 to provide the apparatus.
