Abstract

See full text

Plastic panels which are useful as automotive interior trim panels, interior door panels and the like decorative and structural panels, are made by a method which provides an underturned edge onto the panel. The method includes positioning blanks into a mold cavity over top of a mold ring. The blanks are secured to the mold ring and the blank is secured to the mold cavity via a vacuum. The two piece mold is mated together and a substrate is injected into the mold cavity. The cavity is opened, the ring is lifted and the formed part is removed from the mold.
