METHOD AND TOOL FOR INTRODUCING A DECORATIVE SEAM

摘要

A method and tooling for introducing a decorative seam between two sections of a thermoplastic top layer for a composite part. The method may be carried out using the tooling according to the steps of: forming a contact surface along which a visible side of the first section of the top layer and a visible side of the second section of the top layer are brought into contact; heating the contact surface at least regionally; and at least partially connecting the two sections of the top layer by at least regionally pressing together the two sections along the contact surface using a pressing tool having tooth-like projections.
