Abstract
A reinforced fiber base material is placed on a forming die having a concave part and fixed to the forming die by at least a pair of fixing members disposed on either side of the concave part so as to form a gap between the reinforced fiber base material and a bottom surface of the concave part of the forming die. Subsequently, the reinforced fiber base material fixed to the forming die is covered by a bag film, a forming space that is formed between the forming die and the bag film is decompressed, and a matrix resin is allowed to flow inside the decompressed forming space. The matrix resin is then hardened so as to obtain a composite material in which the reinforced fiber base material and the matrix resin are integrally formed.
