Abstract

See full text

Provided are a device for producing a sheet structure including a flexible sheet and a structure formed on the sheet whereby the sheet structure can be easily produced and a method for producing the sheet structure. The production device 1 includes: a table 10 having in a surface thereof a holding region 12; a formation mechanism 31 for forming a structure 2b; a holding mechanism 25 for holding a sheet 2a on the holding region 12; and a control unit 40. The holding mechanism 25 includes: porous materials 14b and 15b provided so that they are at least partly located within the holding region 12 and having interconnected cells; a negative-pressure generating mechanism 17; and a positive-pressure generating mechanism 20. The control unit 40 allows the negative-pressure generating mechanism 17 to generate a negative pressure to hold the sheet 2a, then allows the formation mechanism 31 to form the structure 2b, and then allows the positive-pressure generating mechanism 20 to generate a positive pressure.
