Abstract
A method for producing a three-dimensional motor vehicle interior element through which light can shine and which has an observer-side surface is produced in two steps. In a first step a three-dimensional transparent substrate is produced from a cross-linked polymer. In a second step the substrate is provided on an observer-side surface of the substrate with a coloring through which light can shine, at least in a subregion.
Claims12
A method for producing a three-dimensional motor vehicle interior element through which light can shine and which has an observer-side surface, the motor vehicle interior element being produced in two steps, the method comprising:
- producing a three-dimensional transparent substrate from a cross-linked polymer;
- and
- providing in at least a subregion, a coloring on an observer-side surface of the substrate through which light can shine.
A motor vehicle interior element, the motor vehicle interior element comprising:
- a three-dimensional transparent substrate made of a cross-linked polymer and which has a colored top layer made of a cross-linked polymer, through which light can shine, at least in a subregion, arranged on an observer-side surface of the substrate, as a coloring through which light can shine, after an immersion at least of the observer-side surface of the substrate in liquid dye.
