Abstract
The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a fiber-reinforced plastic that is capable of controlling anisotropy, has excellent mechanical characteristics, has little variation, has excellent heat resistance, and has good fluidity during forming. A production method for fiber-reinforced plastic, having: a step in which a material (A) () including a prepreg base material is obtained, said prepreg base material having cuts therein and having a thermoplastic resin impregnated in reinforcing fibers () arranged in parallel in one direction; a step in which a pressurizing device is used that applies a substantially uniform pressure in a direction (X) orthogonal to the travel direction of the material (A) () and the material (A) () is caused to travel in the one direction and is pressurized while being heated to a prescribed temperature (T), an angle (.theta.) of −20-20 .degree. being formed between the orthogonal direction (X) and a fiber axial direction (Y) for the reinforcing fibers () of the prepreg base material; and a step in which the material (A) () pressurized by the pressurizing device is cooled and the fiber-reinforced plastic is obtained.
