A system for manufacturing three-dimensional work pieces, such as interior automobile components, includes several cooperating stations arranged in such a way that a hingeable mold member connected to a hinging frame may cooperate with another mold member or with other tools such as trimming tools, curing tools, cleaning and waxing tools and the like. The hinging frame is engageable by hinging bolts of the same construction located in different work stations. The hingeable mold member is transportable, for example on an endless conveyor, when it is disengaged from the hinging bolts. The number of work pieces produced per unit of time is increased by the cooperation of a forming or shaping station with a trimming station, with a foaming station and several curing stations for the foamed material in a shaped work piece. A controlled sticking of the foaming material is used to facilitate the moving of a work piece from one station to another by a hinging movement of the respective mold, whereby the work piece is held in the mold by said controlled sticking even if the mold surface faces down.
