Abstract
A mold component for forming a foamed part with a three-dimensional shape includes a magnetic block having a first face that defines a curved three-dimensional surface with a hook strip-receiving recess positioned above the magnetic block. The magnetic block is configured to be placed in a mold with a hook strip placed in the hook strip-receiving recess. The hook strip has a ferrous metal-containing component such that the magnetic block attracts and holds the hook strip with the hook strip conforming to the curved three-dimensional surface. Characteristically, the mold component is configured to be applied in a molding process to mold the three-dimensional shape in the foamed part wherein the hook strip attaches to a trim cover.
