Abstract
A forming method according to the present disclosure includes a laminating step for forming an intermediate formed article by supplying and laminating a fibrous sheet onto forming surfaces of a forming die for forming the intermediate formed article; and a bending process step for performing a bending process on the intermediate formed article, which is laminated on the forming surfaces and has a shape that corresponds to the forming die, to yield a formed article. The forming surfaces have shapes that correspond to the intermediate formed article to be formed. The second forming surface is bent with respect to the first forming surface among the forming surfaces, and the angle formed by the first forming surface and the second forming surface is greater than the bending angle of the cross-section of the formed article to be formed and less than 180 degrees.
