Abstract
There is provided a production method that is capable of producing a high-strength fiber-reinforced resin member, wherein the desired orientation is ensured for continuous fibers forming a continuous fiber-reinforced member, as a result of which an appropriate part thereof is reinforced with a continuous fiber-reinforced member that possesses desired physical properties (tensile strength, etc.). It is a method of producing a fiber-reinforced resin member using a mold in which a cavity is defined by closing a lower mold and an upper mold, the mold comprising a groove part formed within the lower mold and that communicates with the cavity, a core slidably provided within the groove part, and a push-up means that pushes the core up, the method comprising: a first step of disposing a continuous fiber-reinforced member on the core; and a second step of charging softened or molten matrix resin into the cavity, pushing up the core with the push-up means to bury the continuous fiber-reinforced member in the matrix resin, and producing a fiber-reinforced resin member in which the continuous fiber-reinforced member is buried in cured matrix resin.
