Abstract
A method of manufacturing an interior component for a vehicle interior. The method involves laminating, in a laminating mold, a foam laminate onto a dimensionally stable substrate with a three-dimensional surface contour. The method includes providing the substrate, applying the foam laminate onto the three-dimensional surface contour of the substrate by way of a vacuum, and bonding the substrate to the foam laminate.

A method of manufacturing an interior component for a vehicle interior by laminating, in a laminating mold, a foam laminate onto a dimensionally stable substrate with a three-dimensional surface contour, the method comprising:
- providing the substrate;
- applying the foam laminate onto the three-dimensional surface contour of the substrate by way of a vacuum;
- bonding the substrate to the foam laminate to form a substrate composite;
- and
- introducing one or more seam grooves into the foam laminate in the laminating mold by thermal manipulation of the foam laminate with a laser or a contour punch.
