Abstract

A method for producing a laminated moulded part comprises a pressure moulding of a blank to form a moulded part in a moulding cavity between a first moulding tool unit and a second moulding tool unit, introducing of a laminating element into the moulding cavity after the pressure moulding of the blank, and a bonding of the moulded part with the laminating element in the moulding cavity.

Claims (19)

1. A method for producing a laminated moulded part, comprising steps of:

pressure moulding a blank to form a moulded part in a moulding cavity between a first moulding tool unit and a second moulding tool unit, wherein the moulded part is pressure moulded from the blank being provided as a fibrous non-woven fabric mat;

delivering a plastic from an injection moulding unit to the first moulding tool unit through an injection moulding channel of the first moulding tool unit;

injection moulding the plastic delivered from the injection moulding unit to the first moulding tool unit onto a rear face of the moulded part in at least one localized region of the moulded part;

introducing a laminating film into the moulding cavity after the pressure moulding of the blank and the injection moulding of the at least one localized region;

bonding the laminating film to a front face of the moulded part in the moulding cavity; and

wherein the bonding of the moulded part with the laminating film comprises a pressure laminating of the moulded part with the laminating film in the moulding cavity between the first moulding tool unit and a third moulding tool unit, wherein a moulding surface of the third moulding tool unit is set back by a thickness of the laminating film relative to a moulding surface of the second moulding tool unit.

2. The method in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the moulded part remains in the moulding cavity between the pressure moulding, and the introducing of the laminating film, and the bonding of the moulded part with the laminating film.

3. The method in accordance with claim 1 ,

further comprising removing the second moulding tool unit from the moulding cavity and/or with a step of introducing the third moulding tool unit into the moulding cavity, so that the third moulding tool unit faces the first moulding tool unit.

4. The method in accordance with claim 1 ,

further comprising preheating the blank before pressure moulding the blank.

5. The method in accordance with claim 1 ,

further comprising preheating the laminating film before the bonding of the moulded part with the laminating film.

6. The method in accordance with claim 1 ,

further comprising injecting reinforcing elements onto the moulded part in the moulding cavity.

7. The method in accordance with claim 1 ,

wherein the steps are performed, at least in part, with a computer device.
