Abstract
A three-dimensionally shaped aromatic imide polymer sheet article is produced by a method comprising the steps of shaping an aromatic imide polymer sheet having a second order transition temperature of 250.degree. C. to 400.degree. C. and an ultimate elongation of 120% or more at 100.degree. C., by press-stretching at least a portion of the sheet at a temperature of 100.degree. C. or more, but not exceeding a temperature of 100.degree. C. higher than the second order transition temperature of the sheet, into a desired three-dimensional convex or concave form protruding from the sheet, heat-setting the resultant shaped sheet article in its shaped form at a temperature equal to or higher than the second order transition temperature of the sheet, and then cooling the heat-set sheet article to a desired low temperature.
