Abstract
Provided is a shaping method for shaping a laminated body of multi-layered sheet materials containing reinforcing fibers by using a shaping die. The shaping die has a curved portion formed in a convex shape over a predetermined direction. The shaping method includes: fixing, to the shaping die, a holding member configured to cover the laminated body over the predetermined direction to maintain a state where the laminated body is pressed against the curved portion; sealing the laminated body and the holding member to the shaping die by a sealing member to form a closed space; and depressurizing the closed space to thin the laminated body by sucking air of the closed space, and the fixing fixes the holding member to the shaping die such that the holding member does not come into contact with an end face on one side in the predetermined direction of the laminated body.
