Abstract: With a stator core (20) used as ala outer die, a cavity (dA, dB) is formed between the stator core (20) and a die (30A, 30B) having a protruding portion (31, 32) which is inserted in a slot (23). The cavity (dA) has both side portions (dA1) thereof widen gradually from a slot opening portion toward a depth side. The cavity (dB) widens at a depth side corner portion (dB2). Liquefied resin generally flows evenly through such wide portion into each portion to form a stator core provided with an insulating member. As a result, filling with the synthetic resin can be appropriately conducted while securing a slot space factor and coil insatiability in the core provided with the insulating member formed integrally by synthetic resin.
