Abstract:
1. A molding die for molding a molded product wherein a heating element that is substantially rectangular and that is energized to generate heat through electric resistance heating is provided on either one or both of a specular surface of a specular plate of one die and a specular surface of a specular plate of the other die disposed oppositely to the specular surface of the specular plate of the one die and a resin material is supplied between the one die and the other die, the molding die comprising: the specular plates that are disposed on said one die and/or said other die and that are kept at a temperature at which at least a surface of the resin material can be cooled; the heating element having a substantially rectangular plate-like part that generates heat at least while being separated from the specular surfaces of said specular plates; heating element holders having abutting surfaces on which said heating element abuts when said heating element is separated from the specular surfaces of said specular plates; and a moving means for moving said heating element so that the heating element abuts on either one of the specular surface of the specular plate and the abutting surfaces of the heating element holders.
