Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for manufacturing a fuel cell. When blanking a continuous membrane electrode assembly (MEA) into individual MEAs and then bonding the individual MEAs to a sub-gasket, a scrap electrolyte membrane located at the continuous MEA is prevented from being bonded to a sub-gasket by release-purpose surface roughness formed on a surface thereof, so that it is possible to prevent manufacturing defects of the fuel cell. Further, when the individual MEAs are bonded to the sub-gasket, the continuous MEA is intended to be well bonded to the sub-gasket up to edge portions of the individual MEAs by the pressing force of a pattern roll.
