Press Bonding with Edge Folding & CNC Deco Stitch

A combination of high-speed decorative stitching and press lamination with automatic edge folding and wrapping helped bring the look and quality of cut-&-sew and hand wrapping to a high-volume production vehicle. The innovative new process combination saves approximately 8 oz of weight by using lightweight TPO skins instead of heavier PVC, 10% scrap, 55% cycle time, $10 USD/vehicle direct costs, and approximately $1-million USD in tooling savings.
