Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a workpiece including a heating process capable of heating a resin workpiece uniformly. The method for manufacturing the workpiece includes the heating process for supplying superheated steam from a plurality of nozzles to heat the resin workpiece having a planar part. In the heating process, the superheated steam is blown on the resin workpiece from the plurality of nozzles to heat the same in a state that each axis of the plurality of nozzles is arranged so as to be inclined in one direction along a plane of the planar part with respect to a normal of the planar part.
