Abstract
A method for producing a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin molded article laminated with a skin material comprises the steps of: providing a mold assembly including a first mold and a second mold; preheating a fiber-reinforced thermoplastic resin sheet; preheating a skin material; supplying the preheated sheet and skin material to between the molds; drawing the preheated skin material under reduced pressure so as to bring the skin material into close contact with a cavity face of the second mold; and moving the molds so as to attain a closed state thereby laminating the sheet and skin material together.
