A method and processing station for producing a veneer having two parallel opposed faces and including at least one lignocellulosic layer made of lignocellulosic fibers having a grain extending along the opposed faces of the veneer. The processing station carries out the method by applying a compressive force to the veneer along at least one direction extending along the opposed faces of the veneer so as to mechanically compress the lignocellulosic fibers.

Method and installations for processing a veneer and corresponding veneer

A method for coating a surface of a supporting element with a layer of ligneous material in order to form a motor vehicle trim element. The method includes the following consecutive steps: precutting the coating layer so as to form at least one precut area in the layer of ligneous material; positioning the layer of ligneous material relative to the supporting element by means of the precut area; and attaching the layer of ligneous material to the surface of the supporting element.

Method for coating an element with a coating layer

A lining element includes at least one decorative layer formed from at least one complex that includes both a ligneous material layer having a backside and a front side and a reinforcement layer extending over the backside of the ligneous material layer. The decorative layer further includes at least one additional layer made in a material different from the ligneous material. The front side of the additional layer substantially extends in the continuity of the front side of the complex. The additional layer and the complex are attached to each other through at least one seam.

Lining element having a visible face partly formed with a ligneous material

The invention relates to a method in which the coating () is thermoformed and the coating () is cut in at least one cutting region (). According to one aspect of the invention, the reinforcement layer () is impregnated with a thermosetting resin at least in one cutting region (), and the coating () is cut in the cutting region after the thermoforming of the coating and the setting of the thermosetting resin.

Method for manufacturing a motor vehicle lining having a coating that includes a ligneous layer and a back reinforcement layer

The invention relates to a method consisting in: inserting the coating () into a shaping and injection-molding mold (); closing the mold () such that the coating () is shaped against a shaping surface () of the mold () as the mold () is closed; and, subsequently, overmolding the substrate () by injecting a plastic material into the mold (). According to one aspect of the invention, the shaping surface () is induction-heated in order to thermoform the coating () as the mold () is closed, by generating induced currents that propagate along the shaping surface (), and the induction heating is stopped in order to set the plastic material.

Method for producing an interior trim for a motor vehicle, including a substrate and a coating having the appearance of wood

The trim element () comprises at least one decorative element () made in a first material and comprising an external face forming a portion of the visible face of the trim element () and an internal face, said decorative element () being laid out on a film in plastic material (), different from the first material, said film () comprising at least one underside area (), extending over the internal face of the decorative element (), said film being at least partly laid out on a substrate (). The film () further comprises at least one peripheral area () extending around at least one portion of the decorative element () and forming another portion of the visible face of the trim element ().
