Abstract

The present disclosure relates to an interior material for a vehicle and a method for molding the interior material for the vehicle, and more specifically the method for molding an interior material for a vehicle according to the present disclosure includes heating a skin inserted into an upper end heater and a lower end heater spaced apart from each other; preforming the heated skin using an upper mold having a mold temperature set to have a set shape and a lower mold having a second mold temperature; and pressing the preformed skin and a core using a 1-1 mold and a 1-2 mold having set mold temperatures.

Claims (16)

1. A method for molding an interior material for a vehicle, the method comprising:

heating a skin inserted between an upper surface heater and a lower surface heater spaced apart from each other;

preforming the heated skin using an upper mold and a lower mold, wherein a temperature of the upper mold is set higher than a temperature of the lower mold; and

pressing the preformed skin and a core using the upper mold and the lower mold,

wherein the skin comprises: a first skin layer made of a thermosetting resin, a second skin layer bonded to a lower surface of the first skin layer and made of a thermoplastic resin, and a third skin layer bonded to a lower surface of the second skin layer and made of the thermoplastic resin.

2. The method of claim 1 ,

wherein the heating of the skin comprises setting a temperature of the lower surface heater to be higher than a temperature of the upper surface heater.

3. The method of claim 2 ,

wherein the pressing of the skin and the core comprises placing the core in close contact with the upper mold and the skin in close contact with the lower mold, and setting a temperature of the upper mold in close contact with the core to be relatively higher than a temperature of the lower mold in close contact with the skin.

4. A method for molding an interior material for a vehicle, the method comprising:

heating a skin inserted between an upper surface heater and a lower surface heater spaced apart from each other; and

pressing the heated skin and a core using an upper mold and a lower mold having set temperatures,

wherein the skin comprises: a first skin layer made of a thermosetting resin, a second skin layer bonded to a lower surface of the first skin layer and made of a thermoplastic resin, and a third skin layer bonded to a lower surface of the second skin layer and made of the thermoplastic resin.

5. The method of claim 4 ,

wherein the heating of the skin comprises setting a temperature of the lower surface heater to be higher than a temperature of the upper surface heater, and

wherein the pressing of the skin and the core comprises setting the temperature of the upper mold to be relatively higher than the temperature of the lower mold.
