Abstract

See full text

An RTM molding device and an RTM molding method which enable resin impregnation of even large members and thick members without causing non-impregnated regions or fiber wrinkle, and yield a molded body having superior toughness and excellent precision. In the RTM molding device, a surface molding layer, which is disposed between a fiber-reinforced base material and a molding die, has a plurality of through-holes formed therein, and has sufficient rigidity that the thickness does not substantially change under the pressure inside the cavity when the inside of the cavity is placed under reduced pressure, and a resin diffusion portion, which is located on the side of the surface molding layer opposite the fiber-reinforced base material, and comprises a resin flow path formed so as to connect with the plurality of through-holes of the surface molding layer, are provided on at least one surface of the fiber-reinforced base material.
