Foamed vehicle part and method of manufacturing

摘要

A method of manufacturing a vehicle body part embeds an insert piece into a foamed layer of the body part by holding the insert piece in a foaming tool using a magnetic force. The magnetic force holds the insert piece into position, eliminating the need for any additional holding structures in the foaming tool. A body part made by this method has improved visual quality, particularly at a transition area between the insert piece and a decorative part.
