The present invention pertains to method for manufacturing a lining panel (1) with an integrated electrical connector (5) for a lining of a passenger cabin of an aircraft or spacecraft. The method comprises using an additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing technique to laterally form electrically conductive pins (6) on a panel body (3) of the lining panel (1) to provide an electrical connector (5). The electrically conductive pins (6) are formed to connect to electric lines (2) attached to or formed on or into the panel body (3) of the lining panel (1). The invention further pertains to a lining panel (1) with an integrated electrical connector (5) for a lining of a passenger cabin of an aircraft or spacecraft. The lining panel (1) comprises a panel body (3), electric lines (2) being attached to or formed on or into the panel body (3), and an electrical connector (5) with electrically conductive pins (6) formed laterally on the panel body (3) of the lining panel (1) using an AM or 3D printing technique. The electrically conductive pins (6) are configured to connect to the electric lines (2).
