Claims6
A fiber reinforced resin molded article including a fiber reinforced resin layer in which reinforcing fibers are impregnated with a resin, comprising:
- an impregnated site formed by impregnating the reinforcing fibers with the resin;
- and
- a functional site made up from a resin layer for molding composed of a resin that does not contain the reinforcing fibers;
- wherein the functional site is thicker than the impregnated site.
A method of manufacturing a fiber reinforced resin molded article including a fiber reinforced resin layer in which reinforcing fibers are impregnated with a resin, comprising the steps of:
- stacking a sheet-shaped resin and a resin for molding corresponding to a local site;
- applying heat to the resin for molding, the sheet-shaped resin, and sheet-shaped reinforcing fibers with a press molding die, to soften the sheet-shaped resin and the resin for molding;
- impregnating the sheet-shaped reinforcing fibers with a resin having the sheet-shaped resin as its source, to thereby obtain an impregnated site;
- and
- by the resin for molding, simultaneously molding a functional site that is thicker than the impregnated site.
