Apparatus and method for manufacturing crash pad

A method for manufacturing a crash pad with a foaming layer formed by injecting foaming solution between a core and a skin, the method comprising:

• adsorbing and fixing a thread to an internal surface of a first mold to block a plurality of vacuum apertures disposed at a predetermined interval along a longitudinal direction of the thread when a vacuum pressure is applied to each of the vacuum aperture, the thread forming a stitch part on a surface of the skin;
• forming the skin by injecting molten resin of a skin material when the first mold and a second mold are combined;
• forming the core by injecting molten resin of a core material when a third mold and a fourth mold are combined;
• and
• forming a foaming layer by injecting foaming liquid into a foaming cavity between the core and the skin after the mold are opened to combine the first mold fixed with the skin and the fourth mold attached with the core,
• wherein a first portion of the thread is adsorbed and fixed by a vacuum suctioning force of a corresponding vacuum aperture to form an exposure part of the stitch in which the thread is exposed on the surface of the skin and a second portion of the thread is not adsorbed to the corresponding vacuum aperture to form a hidden part of the stitch in which the thread is buried in the surface of the skin.
