Method and device for manufacturing a component from a plate made of deformable material, in particular for an edge of an element of an aircraft. The device includes a tool with two tool parts configured to be able to move closer to one another and are able to round a plate made of deformable material fixed to the two tool parts, a mold at the periphery of the tool and including a molding cavity of a shape corresponding to the shape of the component that is to be manufactured, and a displacement system configured to press the rounded plate firmly against the molding cavity of the mold, the mold being able to shape the rounded plate when it is pressed firmly against the molding cavity to give it its definitive shape, the device allowing the manufacture of single-piece components of varying sizes and notably large-sized components and/or deep components.

A die includes a die body and a removable shell. The die body includes a supply flow channel formed inside the die body. One end of the supply flow channel opens at the surface of the die body. The supply flow channel is to be supplied with a fluid for temperature adjustment. The removable shell is mounted removably to the surface of the die body. The removable shell includes an outer surface that constitutes at least a part of the forming surface of the die. A temperature adjustment space is provided in the surface of the die body or in the removable shell. The temperature adjustment space is in communication with the supply flow channel. The removable shell is divided into a plurality of shell pieces. The plurality of shell pieces are arranged in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction of the die on the surface of the die body.

Disclosed are an external, numerically controlled, rapid reconfigurable surface mold and forming method thereof In this mold, an external shape-adjusting component is composed of a height-regulating rod, a motor, and a sliding guide rail module. The height-regulating rod is connected to the sliding guide rail module, and the motor is coaxially connected to the height-regulating rod. In addition, the molding module consists of a plurality of basic body units with the same structure, the lower end of the basic body unit is installed in the mold box, the upper end of the basic body unit is matched with the lower end of the height-regulating rod, and the height of the basic body unit is adjustable. Subsequently, in the forming method, driven by the motor and under the action of the force of the lower end of the height-regulating rod, the height-regulating rod moves above the basic body units.
