Abstract: The purpose of the present invention is to obtain a fiber-reinforced composite material having excellent appearance or mechanical characteristics, whereby a three-dimensional shape is molded with high productivity while appearance defects such as fiber meandering or wrinkling are suppressed. In this method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced composite material, when a stack in which a plurality of sheet-shaped prepregs (X) in which a plurality of continuously arranged reinforcing fibers are impregnated with a matrix resin composition are layered in different fiber directions is molded into a three-dimensional shape by a molding die (100) provided with a lower die (110) and an upper die (112), a stretchable sheet (10) or a resin film (Y) used in the stack (12) is utilized. In this method for manufacturing a fiber-reinforced composite material, the stack may be pre-molded to obtain a preform, and the preform may be furthermore compression-molded to obtain a fiber-reinforced composite material.

Abstract: There are provided a method of producing a laminate that is used to produce a fiber-reinforced composite material molded product having a complex shape, and a method of producing a fiber-reinforced composite material molded product having excellent appearance and mechanical characteristics and having a complex shape. The method of producing a laminate according to the present invention includes, in an assembly (50) having at least one selected from the group consisting of an abutment part in which ends of sheet-like prepregs are abutted so that side end surfaces come in contact with each other and an overlapping part in which ends of sheet-like prepregs overlap, laminating a sheet molding compound on at least a part of one or both of the abutment part and the overlapping part in an overlapping manner.
