Method for producing a shaped part, and such a shaped part

A method for producing a shaped part, in particular a decorative part and/or a trim part for a vehicle interior, which are/is configured as a shaped part, comprising a decorative layer on a shaped-part front side which is configured as a visible face, and a carrier on a shaped-part reverse side, wherein the shaped-part front side which is configured as the visible face is subdivided into at least two regions, a first region and a second region which is adjacent to the first region, wherein the decorative layer comprises a first decorative material and a second decorative material, wherein in the first region of the shaped-part front side the first decorative material configures the visible face, and in the second region of the shaped-part front side the second decorative material configures the visible face, the method comprising the following steps:

• a) preshaping the first decorative material into a first decorative shell and the second decorative material into a second decorative shell, wherein the first decorative shell and the second decorative shell each have a front side for configuring the visible face of the shaped part and a reverse side;
• b) placing the first decorative shell into an opened cavity of an injection mold in such a manner that the front side of the first decorative shell at least partially lays against a first wall of the cavity;
• c) placing the second decorative shell in the opened cavity of the injection mold in such a manner,
• c1) that a first part of the front side of the second decorative shell at least partially lays against the first wall of the cavity,
• c2) that a second part of the front side of the second decorative shell in an overlap region at least partially lays against and makes contact with the reverse side of the first decorative shell;
• and
• c3) that a third part of the front side of the second decorative shell in a transition region at least partially spans a lateral bounding area of the first decorative shell which interconnects the front side and the reverse side of the first decorative shell;
• d) closing the cavity;
• e) configuring the carrier by injecting plastics material into the cavity,
• e1) wherein the injected plastics material urges the front side of the first decorative shell and the first part of the front side of the second decorative shell against the wall,
• e2) wherein the injected plastics material in the overlap region urges the second part of the front side of the second decorative shell against the reverse side of the first decorative shell;
• and
• e3) wherein the injected plastics material in the transition region urges the third part of the front side of the second decorative shell against the lateral bounding area of the first decorative shell so that a transition from the front side of the first decorative shell to the first part of the front side of the second decorative shell is smooth and planar.
