Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a formed part from breaking and the like and consequently improve the quality of the formed part by a structure wherein a cutter is provided at the end of a vacuum forming tool, with which forming material stretched on a mold is cut properly in order to prevent the forming material from being elongated during vacuum forming. CONSTITUTION:First, forming material M is uniformly heated by a heater 11 or the like. Secondly, a forming tool 1 is lifted by means of a lift so as to cover the forming tool 1 by the forming material M. Thirdly, when the forming material M is uniformly stretched across the highest edge of the forming part 2 of the forming tool 1 and the contact portion on the outer periphery of the forming tool 1, a part of the forming material M is cut with a cutter provided at the edge of the forming tool 1. Simultaneously with the cutting, a vacuum device is put into actuation so as to perform vacuum forming. The forming material M is formed by being pulled under the state elongated by the tension applied on the forming part 2 side. On the other hand, the forming material M at the portion cut with the cutter 7 is free and consequently pulled to a forming area 5 by being slid along a sealing part 8 under the state that no tension is applied to the forming material M so as to be fabricated without reducing the thickness of the forming material M.
