Abstract: A method is provided for producing an inner cladding part for vehicles by lamination of a first, preferably flexible material layer, having an upper side and an underside, onto a preferably dimensionally stable carrier, having a preferably three-dimensional surface contour of the carrier, with a thermally activatable adhesive applied to the underside of the material layer and/or the surface contour of the carrier. Carbon nanotubes, forming a heating device, are in contact with the adhesive at least in one sub-region. The method includes heating the adhesive in the sub-region by applying a voltage to the carbon nanotubes, as a result of which the adhesive is activated, and compressing the material layer and the carrier.

Abstract: A method is provided for laminating a flexible material layer having an upper face and a lower face onto a dimensionally stable substrate having a three-dimensional surface contour. The method comprises providing the dimensionally stable substrate, placing the lower face of the flexible material layer onto the surface contour of the dimensionally stable substrate, wherein a thermally activatable adhesive is applied to the lower face of the flexible material layer and/or the surface contour of the dimensionally stable substrate, irradiating the upper face of the applied flexible material layer with NIR radiation to activate the adhesive, and pressing the flexible material layer and the dimensionally stable substrate together after and/or during the activation of the adhesive. A device is provided for carrying out the method.
