The improved mold assembly for cultured marble molding is provided. The mold assembly can comprise a male mold portion and a female mold portion. The assembly can further comprise a molding tool. The molding tool can have a side wall having an upper curved portion and a lower curved portion. The molding tool can have a bowl portion and an apron portion spaced from the bowl portion by a gap. The molding tool can be constructed from a flexible and/or soft material. The molding tool can facilitate molding of a countertop having at least one seamless curved edge and/or an at least partially seamless sink portion.

A method of manufacturing a spar cap for a wind turbine blade part, comprise the steps of: providing a plurality of precured elongated fibre reinforced resin elements stacking the plurality of fibre reinforced elements, an interlayer of an elongated non-cured fibre material being arranged between successive fibre reinforced elements, thereby forming a stack of precured fibre reinforced elements, moving the stack of fibre reinforced elements to a spar cap mould comprising a mould bottom and mould side walls, arranging the stack of fibre reinforced elements in the cavity of the spar cap mould infusing resin into the stack of fibre reinforced elements in the mould allow the resin to cure and demould the stack

A latching mechanism suitable for suppository molds, where the latching mechanism is designed to assist the separation of mold when the latch is released. In embodiments, the latching mechanism has a lever portion on a first mold half and a catch portion on a second mold half. The lever portion is configured to impinge upon the catch portion to provide a force to bias the first mold half away from the second mold half. Other embodiments include methods of utilizing such a catching mechanism with a suppository mold.

Disclosed herein are methods for shaping a composite material (110) that include the use of a woven or non-woven veil (120). Also disclosed herein are shaped composite materials formed using such methods, which show significant improvement in wrinkling.

A composite material shaped product manufacturing shaping die is used when manufacturing a composite material shaped product constituted by at least a resin composition and a fiber material. The composite material shaped product is formed by shaping, by the shaping die, a laminated body of prepregs each formed by impregnating the fiber material with the resin composition. The shaping die includes a die member having a shaping surface defining an outer surface shape of the laminated body. The shaping surface of the die member includes: a release coating covering the shaping surface; and a release agent layer formed on the release coating by applying a release agent to the release coating.
