Abstract
A multilayer molded article having good appearance is produced by providing a preheated fiber-reinforced resin sheet between a pair of upper and lower molds, and supplying a thermoplastic resin melt and optionally a foam sheet between the upper mold and the fiber-reinforced resin sheet. The thermoplastic resin melt is supplied through a resin supplying opening provided in the lower mold, and through a hole made in the fiber-reinforced resin sheet and the foam sheet. During the supply of the resin melt or as soon as the resin supply is finished, the molds are closed to further flow, and the resin melt is formed to produce a mu molded article made of the fiber-reinforced resin sheet, a skin layer of the thermoplastic resin and optionally the foam sheet therebetween.
