Abstract
To provide a method for manufacturing a molded article and a method for manufacturing a molded article using an apparatus that can increase the productivity of the target molded article. [Solution] A method for manufacturing a molded body, comprising: a first molding step of generating a first molded body by applying pressure to a fiber-containing material using a pressure mechanism to transfer a pattern and bond the fibers together; and a second molding step of generating a second molded body by processing the material at a position corresponding to the pattern formed in the first molding step. Furthermore, the pressure mechanism has a pressure member having protrusions on its surface, and in the first molding step, when applying pressure to the deposit, it is preferable to transfer the shape of the protrusions to the first molded body to form a pattern.
