AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

The existing method for manufacturing polyester components is lengthy and expensive due to the cooling and subsequent transfer of the substrate layer from a forming tool to a finishing tool.

Method used

A method involving a forming tool and a separate post-processing tool is used to form and process a layered arrangement of carrier and decorative layers, where the layers are heated and cooled indirectly to specific temperatures, allowing for a single tool stroke formation and post-processing, thereby reducing process time and costs.

Benefits of technology

The method significantly shortens the manufacturing process time and reduces costs by allowing the formation and post-processing of polyester components in a single tool setup, ensuring efficient bonding and shaping of the layers.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a polyester component, comprising a provisioning step in which a layer arrangement comprising at least one support layer (1) is provided, and in which a process plant for processing the layer arrangement into the polyester component (P) is provided, wherein the support layer (1) is formed by a first textile fabric made of polyester, and wherein the process plant comprises a forming tool (11) tempered to a forming temperature with a forming temperature value and a finishing tool (13) tempered to a removal temperature with a removal temperature value, a forming step in which the layer arrangement is inserted into the forming tool tempered to the forming temperature and is formed into a predefined shape under the influence of a compressive force generated by the forming tool (11), and a finishing step in which the component formed into the predefined shape isThe layer arrangement is placed into the post-processing tool, which is tempered to the extraction temperature, and is post-processed to form the polyester component (P) using the post-processing tool (13).
