Method for Manufacturing Shaped Product, and Shaped Product

Abstract

A method for manufacturing a shaped product includes 1) heating at least three prepregs having a thickness of 0.3 mm to 5.0 mm each including reinforcing fibers having an average fiber length of 3 to 100 mm and a thermoplastic resin, 2) arranging those prepregs so as to constitute at least two layers including P layer and Q layer which are in contact with each other, and 3) then pressing those layers to manufacture one shaped product. A prepreg (p1) in the P layer and a prepreg (q1) in the Q layer are arranged such that at least a part thereof overlaps with each other, and two or more prepregs in the same layer are arranged so as not to be in contact with each other.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
