The present invention relates to a horizontal molding method and apparatus of an interior material of a vehicle. The horizontal molding apparatus includes a preheating means for preheating a skin material; a transfer unit formed to be movable and including fixing units for vertically attaching or detaching the preheated skin material on or from the transfer unit; a first mold disposed perpendicularly to a ground surface and including suction units for vacuum-sucking and fixing edges of the skin material transferred by the transfer unit, a base member having an embossed pattern to be printed on the skin material, fixing members for sealing an internal space between the skin material and the base member by clamping the edges of the skin material, and vacuum holes for vacuum-sucking the skin material onto the base member; a second mold disposed in parallel with the first mold and on which a base material is injected; and a mold moving means for horizontally moving one of the first and second molds and combining or separating the first and second molds to or from each other. According to the present invention, a skin material and a base material may be integrally molded by using horizontally moving molds, the skin material expanded in a preheating or heating process may be prevented from sagging downward due to its weight, and the skin material may be completely sealed so as not to be folded or wrinkled. |
