A crucial component utilized in the trunk space is the luggage board. Positioned at the bottom of the trunk, the luggage board separates the vehicle body from the interior and provides support for luggage.The luggage board serves multiple functions, including load-bearing stiffness for luggage, partition structure functionality, noise insulation, and thermal insulation. To meet the increasing demand for luggage boards in response to the changing market environment, there is a need for a competitive new luggage board manufacturing method. To address this, the "integrated sandwich molding method" is required. The integrated sandwich molding method utilizes three key methodologies: grouping processes to integrate similar functions, analyzing materials to replace them with suitable alternatives, and overcoming any lacking functionality through integrated design structures.
