Molding device

Abstract

The objective of the present invention is to provide a molding device capable of performing press-molding accurately with respect to a material to be molded. A molding device (1) is provided with an electromagnetic coil (2), a fluid (10) which is electrically conductive and is installed along a plate-shaped material (50) on one surface side of the plate-shaped material (50), and a molding die (4) which is installed on the other surface side of the plate-shaped material (50) and is formed in such a way as to impart a molded shape to the plate-shaped material (50), wherein an electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic coil (2) is caused to act on the fluid (10), and the fluid (10) presses the plate-shaped material (50) against the molding die (4).

1 . A forming device comprising:
 an electromagnetic coil;   a fluid having conductivity and installed on one surface side of a forming target material along the forming target material; and   a forming die installed on the other surface side of the forming target material and formed so as to impart a formed shape to the forming target material,   wherein an electromagnetic force generated by the electromagnetic coil is caused to act on the fluid so that the fluid presses the forming target material against to the forming die.   
     
     
         2 . The forming device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the fluid is a metal powder, a liquid in which a metal powder is dispersed, or a liquefied metal.   
     
     
         3 . The forming device according to  claim 1 ,
 wherein the fluid is accommodated in a bag-shaped member.
