Abstract
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.
