Abstract
A method for molding interior and exterior members of vehicles is provided. By the method, high quality interior and exterior members having surfaces on which general surface shape of genuine leather skin and fine shape such as stitch are formed can be molded by use of a mold. The method for molding the interior and exterior members of vehicles of the present invention comprises the steps of: creating a master model of the interior and exterior members; acquiring three-dimensional data of the created master model of the interior and exterior members; generating surface data which indicates a surface shape of the master model of the interior and exterior members from the acquired three-dimensional data; making the cavity plate of the mold based on the generated surface data; transferring the surface shape of the master model of the interior and exterior members in a resin sheet, attaching on the cavity plate of the mold the resin sheet to which the surface shape of the master model has been transferred; and molding the interior and exterior members by using the cavity plate on which the resin sheet is attached.
