Abstract
A process is provided for producing a skin-integrated laminate using a mold assembly in which a female mold 1 is arranged above and facing a male mold 2 so as to be freely brought close to and away from the male mold, wherein the female mold 1 and the male mold 2 are arranged so as to form an end opening at the peripheral end of a cavity 11 when they are clamped, a plate mold 4 having an end-forming pointed end part 5 which can enter the above end opening is also provided, and the end of the skin material allowed to exist between the male mold 2 and the female mold 1 is clamped with a clamping mechanism 3 which can be freely opened and closed, whereby the skin material is adhered integratedly in layer to the molded synthetic resin substrate from its one side to the other end surface simultaneously with the forming of the substrate and whereby a skin-integrated laminate exhibiting a good appearance, whose skin material does not shrink even after the molding, can be produced in a good efficiency, and a mold assembly to be used therein is also provided.
