Title:

COMPOSITE MATERIAL FORMING DEVICE AND COMPOSITE MATERIAL FORMING METHOD

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/183467

Kind Code:

A1

Abstract:

The present invention provides a composite material forming device and composite material forming method for efficiently forming a composite material while suitably removing gas generated inside a thermosetting resin. A composite material forming device (10) has a pressurizing unit (12), heating unit (14), moving mechanism (16) and control unit (18), and processes a composite material (20) in which reinforced fibers have been impregnated with a thermosetting resin from a softened state or semi-cured stated into a cured state while forming the composite material into a prescribed size and prescribed shape. The pressurizing unit (12) applies pressure to a prescribed region of the composite material (20). The heating unit (14) applies a magnetic field to the prescribed region of the composite material (20) to which pressure has been applied by the pressurizing unit (12), thereby heating a prescribed region of the composite material (20). The moving mechanism (16) causes the pressurized region and heated region to simultaneously move by simultaneously changing the position of a first member (22) relative to the composite material (20) and the position of the heating unit (14) relative to the composite material (20).
