METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CRASH PAD OF VEHICLE

A method for manufacturing a vehicle crash pad includes heating a skin layer using a heater, attaching a cushion layer to the skin layer, placing a lower mold and an upper mold relative to a fabric including the skin layer and the cushion layer, forming a molded member on the lower mold, vacuum molding. The upper mold is lowered to perform the vacuum molding. The method further includes a laser processing of the fabric and molded member using a processing system, where a sensor senses the fabric and molded member, and based on sensed data, a through-hole is defined by adjusting the intensity of a laser's light irradiated to the fabric and molded member.
