Abstract

Provided are an apparatus and method for making a trim panel. The method includes providing a preform laminate including a compressible material sandwiched between a flexible skin and a back skin; positioning the preform laminate in the mold; placing an insert with the preform laminate in the mold to created a step to establish a seam location and define a secondary area on the preform laminate; and compressing the compressible material by introducing a molten polymeric material to the mold forming a substrate and bonding the substrate to the preform laminate forming the trim component, wherein the preform laminate folds onto itself and creates a crease along the step to simulate the seam and provide a contour change with the appearance of cushioning in the secondary area, and removing the trim panel component from the mold.
