a method for producing a laser - structurable component , wherein an extruded single - or multilayer molded part with at least one laser - structurable layer that forms an exposed surface of the molded part is applied onto the surface of a non - laser - structurable support element . alternatively , the at least one laser - structurable layer may be back - molded with a non - laser - structurable thermoplastic support element so that at least one laser - structurable layer of the molded part forms at least one part of the surface of the laser - structurable component . the extruded single - or multilayer molded part is deep - drawn into the component . in the process , the laser - structurable layer of the molded part consists of a thermoplastic molding compound consisting of : 30 - 99 . 9 wt . % of a thermoplastic consisting of polyamide ; 0 . 1 - 10 wt . % of an lds additive ; and 0 - 60 wt . % of an additive material which is different from and .
