Method and tool for producing a plastic component with a decorative layer, a backing layer and an additional molded part attached thereto

Abstract

A method for producing a component () comprising a backing layer, a decorative layer and an additional molded part () attached to the component. The method includes the following steps: A plasticized mat comprising fiber fractions, which is a starting material for the backing layer (), is introduced together with a blank, which is a starting material for the decorative layer (), into a compression molding tool () composed of a first tool half () including a low pressure injection unit () for producing the additional molded part and a second tool half (). The tool halves () are pressed together to join the starting materials; a predetermined quantity of plastic in a fluid state is simultaneously or subsequently introduced into the cavity () of the compression molding tool through a supply conduit (), and a slider () is thereafter extended to an end position inside the cavity (). After cooling of the plastic, the slider is retracted to its starting position, and the tool halves are separated. The invention also includes an apparatus for carrying out the method.
