In other words, the manufacturing apparatus includes the above-mentioned shaping device as a shaping unit.

(1) Fiber The fiber A may be a long fiber, a short fiber, or both a long fiber and a short fiber.
Long fibers refer to fibers of 100 [mm] or more, and include so-called continuous fibers. Short fibers refer to fibers of less than 100 [mm], and so-called milled fibers are also included.
The form of the fiber A may be composed of one filament, or may be composed of a fiber bundle in which a plurality of filaments are bundled. The fiber A may or may not have a resin as a matrix constituting the fiber resin molded product D attached. When the fiber A is in the form of a bundle, it may be composed of the same type of fiber or may be composed of a plurality of types of fibers. Examples of fibers include carbon fibers, glass fibers, aramid fibers, boron fibers, metal fibers and the like.

(2) Resin The resin B may be a curable resin before curing or a plastic resin.

Examples of the curable resin include epoxy resin, vinyl ester resin, bismaleimide resin, polyimide resin, cyanate ester resin, phenol resin, melamine resin, benzoxazone resin, unsaturated polyester resin, silicon resin, and polyurethane resin.

The fiber A and the resin B may be supplied separately to form the fiber resin material C, and then the fiber resin material C may be directly supplied. The fibrous resin material C may be continuously supplied. In the continuous state here, when the fiber resin material C is supplied without stopping, the fiber resin material C is intermittently supplied (at intervals of time) (after the supply, the fiber resin material C is once supplied. ) The case where the supply is stopped and the supply is supplied after a predetermined time has elapsed is included. That is, it suffices if the continuous fibrous resin material C can be supplied without being cut in the middle.
The supply unit includes a moving portion that moves the supplied fibrous resin material C to the downstream side. The moving portion may be on the downstream side of the shaping unit, on the upstream side of the shaping unit, or on both sides of the downstream side and the upstream side of the shaping unit.

It may be moved by pulling from the downstream side of the shape unit.

When the resin is a plastic resin, the supply unit supplies the fibrous resin material C to the shaping unit in a plastically deformable state. The supply unit does not require an energy-imparting means for making the fiber resin material C plastically deformable, for example, when supplying the molten resin to the fibers, and supplies the solidified fiber resin material C. In that case, an energy applying means for making the plastic deformable state is required. The energy applying means includes, for example, a heating means for heating the fiber resin material C, a light irradiation means for irradiating the fiber resin material C with light, and the like.
When the resin is a plastic resin, the manufacturing apparatus may be provided with a solidification promoting means for promoting solidification of the resin on the downstream side of the shaping unit. Examples of the solidification promoting means include cooling means for cooling the fiber resin material C (for example, means for blowing cold air, contacting means for abutting a member having a temperature lower than that of the fiber resin material against the fiber resin material, and the like). And so on.

When the resin is a curable resin, the supply unit includes energy-imparting means for curing the resin of the fibrous resin material C. If it takes time to cure the resin until the shape of the fibrous resin material C is maintained, it is necessary to apply energy from the upstream side of the shaping unit. If it does not take time to cure the resin until the shape of the fibrous resin material C is maintained, energy can be applied from the downstream side of the shaping unit.
