Abstract
A work holding mechanism includes a body part having a three-dimensional shape including at least a recess or a protrusion, and an adsorption part for holding a work by adsorbing the work onto the body part in conformity to the three-dimensional shape of the recess or the protrusion provided in the body part. The work is held by being adsorbed in conformity to the three-dimensional shape of the body part, and, therefore, the amount of usage of the work in a work molding system can be reduced as compared with when the work is held so as to have a flat shape.
