Abstract:
Methods for making interior panels are provided. In one example, a method for making an interior panel comprises the steps of heating a fiber reinforced composite blank to form a heated fiber reinforced composite blank. The heated fiber reinforced composite blank is compression molded to shape and cool the heated fiber reinforced composite blank. The heated fiber reinforced composite blank is pierced with a plurality of pins during compression molding to form a shaped, perforated fiber reinforced composite substrate.
