In the past, the system involved thermoforming the leather, reinforcement and lining separately and then joining them together using heat.
The innovation of the new technology is the ability to thermoform the leather, reinforcement and lining in a single step, creating a finished sandwich in which the materials are perfectly welded and shaped.
The process is carried out using a vacuum membrane press equipped with an infrared heating system for controlled heating.
Computerised management of the vacuum curve and temperature increase precisely controls the deformation until complete thermoforming is achieved.
