Apparatus and method for manufacturing crash pad

A method for manufacturing a crash pad having a foam layer by injecting and foam-molding a foam liquid between a base and a skin, the method including:

• injecting molten resin into a base forming space formed in a mold-closed state between a first mold and a second mold through an injection channel formed in the first mold, thereby forming the base having a through-hole for passing the foam liquid therethrough and at the same time, vacuum-molding the skin in a vacuum mold;
• separating the second mold from the first mold and then mold-closing the vacuum mold to which the vacuum-molded skin is attached with the first mold in which the base is formed;
• and
• injecting the foam liquid into a foam space between the base of the first mold and the skin of the vacuum mold through a foam liquid injection channel formed in the first mold, thereby foam-molding the foam layer,
• wherein the through-hole is formed to pass through the base by a pin portion installed in a cavity inner side of the second mold in the forming of the base.
