A molding die apparatus and a method thereof are provided, which ensures for air and gas (or fluid) present in a resin filling space to be exhausted so as to be able to fill molten resin into the cavity smoothly and uniformly thereby enabling production of a high quality molded resin product suitable as an optical disc substrate or the like having optimum optical properties required therefore. The molding die apparatus for obtaining the molded product by injecting the molten resin into a cavity that is formed between dies includes a vacuum apparatus which is disposed in proximity to the cavity, the vacuum apparatus including a vacuum tank, an exhaustion channel and a vacuum valve which controls open and close of a channel between the vacuum tank and the exhaustion channel, and the cavity is exhausted efficiently and rapidly by the vacuum apparatus.

What is claimed is: 1. A method of obtaining a molded product by injecting a molten resin into a cavity formed between a set of dies when said set of dies are closed, the method comprising: disposing a vacuum tank within the set of dies; keeping a pressure in the vacuum tank that is lower than ambient atmospheric pressure; forming an exhaustion channel for directly connecting a circumferential portion of said cavity with said vacuum tank by closing said set of dies; exhausting said cavity by aspirating air within said cavity when opening said exhaustion channel to said vacuum tank, wherein the vacuum tank has a volume capacity at least as large as a total of the volume capacity of the cavity and a volume capacity of the exhaustion channel; forming a gas vent portion on a periphery of the cavity, the gas vent portion providing gas communication between the cavity and the exhaustion channel; setting a gap size of the gas vent portion to permit a gas to flow between the cavity and the exhaustion chamber and disallowing substantially more viscous fluids from flowing between the cavity and the exhaustion chamber. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the gas vent size is in the range of 0.02 millimeters to 0.05 millimeters.
