In a molded body production device, a release agent injection means applies a release agent onto an upper punch surface by injecting the release agent toward the upper punch surface in a state that an upper punch is located above an upper end surface of a molding die, and applies the release agent onto a lower punch surface and an inner circumferential surface exposing above the lower punch surface by injecting the release agent toward the lower punch surface in a state that the lower punch surface is located into the cavity and below the upper end surface of the molding die, before the molding material is filled into the cavity. This makes it possible to prevent the molding material from bonding to the upper punch surface, the lower punch surface and the inner circumferential surface defining the cavity.
