Abstract: A device for making a multilayer part including an aspect layer with a granulated surface. Suction ports open out on a portion of a molding surface of an imprint with a shape complementary to a portion of the aspect layer, such as a peripheral portion.

Abstract: A method for making a multilayer part with a flexible local zone, designed for example to be used as interior fitting for a motor vehicle includes a finish layer, a rigid support layer, and at least one flexible block interposed between the finish layer and the support layer. The method includes a) shaping a peripheral edge of the flexible block by providing the edge with a tapered profile; b) fixing the flexible block on a lower surface of the finish layer at a predetermined position; c) arranging the finish layer and the flexible block in a moulding tool equipped with a punch and a die, defining between them a cavity; d) bringing a molten thermoplastic material into the cavity, beneath the lower surface of the finish layer, and exerting pressure on the material to distribute the material over the lower surface.
