Abstract
A composite material forming device forms a composite material including a resin and reinforced fibers having electrical conductivity. The composite material forming device includes: a conduction jig having electrical conductivity, the conduction jig being to be placed on a surface of the composite material so as to make a bridge between both end portions of the reinforced fibers in a fiber direction; and an electric current generating unit that generates an electric current in the conduction jig. The conduction jig placed on the surface of the composite material and the reinforced fibers form a closed loop through which the electric current flows so that the closed loop intersects the surface of the composite material.
