Abstract

A method of producing a fiber-reinforced resin-molded member includes: preparing a mold including an upper mold and a lower mold forming a cavity, a cavity surface of either the upper mold or the lower mold being provided with a projecting portion; disposing a fiber-reinforcing material in the cavity, closing the molds to generate a state in which the projecting portion presses a part of the fiber-reinforcing material, and filling the cavity with a melted resin to impregnate the fiber-reinforcing material with the melted resin and cure the melted resin; and opening the molds to obtain a fiber-reinforced resin-molded member having an exposed portion and an embedded portion. The exposed portion includes at least a portion pressed by the projecting portion while the molds are closed.
