Pressure Formed IP Top Pad

This top pad is the largest known component to use the in-mold graining pressure forming process. Replacing a 3-step spray-adhesive / injection molding / PUR back foaming process, the product is produced in a 2-shot process that yields crisp radii and uniform grain with no stretch or loss of graining as seen in traditional vacuum forming. As produced, the part is 45 g lighter, 35% less costly, and capital investment was reduced 40% vs. traditional in-mold graining / foam-in-place operations.
