Method for producing a synthetic resin skin

A method for producing a synthetic material skin for structural components which are to be at least partially encased in said synthetic material skin, comprising the following steps:

• preparing at least two separate mold means each including a mold section for holding a respective skin portion and a container section for holding synthetic material for forming at least two separate skin portions, preheating said mold sections, filling said container sections, with a flowable synthetic material in powder form, and locking the respective mold section to its container section in a pressure sealed manner to form locked mold means, rotating or tilting said locked mold means sufficiently into such a position that said flowable synthetic material in powder form in the previously filled container section falls into the respective mold section to cover inner surfaces of said mold sections for producing said two separate skin sections by causing at least a partial melting or fusing of said flowable synthetic material powder in form on said inner surfaces of said mold sections, vibrating said mold means, establishing a reduced pressure in said mold means, permitting a residence time in the rotated or tilted inverted position, rotating or tilting said mold means back into the original position, separating said mold sections from their container sections, providing said separate skin sections with joining margins as part of said producting steps, and assembling said separate mold sections into a cooperating position for joining said separate skin sections to each other along said joining margins by applying pressure to said joining margins to form a seam.
