A method for closing an injection mold for manufacturing a revolution part made of composite material, the mold including a mandrel supporting a fiber preform and angular sectors comprising an annular base to come into contact with the fiber texture, the annular base extending between first and second side edges along a circumferential direction. The method includes successive positioning and fixing the angular sectors on the mandrel, the annular base of each sector compacting the fiber preform portion present oppositely, the side edges of the annular base of each angular sector being in contact with the side edges of the annular base of the adjacent sectors. Before the positioning and fixing of the angular sectors on the mandrel, strip s are placed on the exposed surface of the fiber preform, each strip covering an area of the fiber preform located facing a junction area between two adjacent angular sectors.

An injection mold for the manufacture of an axisymmetric part of composite material including a mandrel supporting a fibrous preform and including an annular wall, and a plurality of counter-mold angular sectors assembled on the mandrel and intended to close the mold and to compact the fibrous preform wound on the mandrel. Each angular sector includes an annular base intended to come into contact with the fibrous preform. The annular base extends between the first and second lateral edges in a circumferential direction, the first lateral edge of the annular base of an angular sector being in contact with a second lateral edge of the annular base of an adjacent angular sector.

A manufacturing method of a hot forming mold of a center pillar including a cooling unit is provided. The method includes a step of preparing a material by dividing the material, a cooling channel processing step of processing cooling channels on a front surface and a rear surface within a contour line by center pillar design information input in advance to an NC processor and cooling channel design information, a solid phase diffusion bonding step, a mold material processing step of processing along the contour line by the center pillar design information input in advance through the NC processor to manufacture a mold material, and a thermal processing step of heating the mold material at a predetermined temperature.

Methods of forming a curvature into a composite stiffener and a forming tool are presented. The composite stiffener is positioned in a forming region created by a base assembly and an upper assembly. A first airflow is applied through the material of the base assembly. A second airflow is applied through the material of the upper assembly. A plurality of brackets of the upper assembly is moved relative to each other to change a curvature of the forming region along a length of the forming region to form the curvature into the composite stiffener.

Disclosed is a method of forming at least a portion of a mask (4) that is structured to engage at least a portion of the face of a patient (52). The method can be generally stated as including employing at least a portion of a data set (74) that is stored on a machine-readable storage medium (72) and that is representative of the shape of at least a portion of the face in generating a configuration for an cushion element (24) of the mask. The cushion element is structured to extend from a support (20) of the mask and to have an engagement end (50) bopposite the support that corresponds with the shape of the at least portion of the face. The method can be generally stated as further including subjecting a workpiece (78) to a formation operation to cause at least a portion of the workpiece to be formed into the cushion element having the engagement end.

A system and method for the manufacture of wind turbine blade moulds and wind turbine blade mould plugs is described. The method comprises dividing a blade mould geometry (70) or plug geometry into separate geometrical slices or segments. The separate slices can then be used to control a cutting of blank elements (78) to form separate cut surfaces (82). The cut surfaces are used to form a consolidated wind turbine mould surface.

Disclosed is a master model (1) defining a useful surface having a complex shape, including a set of juxtaposed frames (2a, 2b, 2c), each frame including a panel having a useful edge (8), the frames being disposed parallel and held rigidly connected with predefined spacings such that the useful edges of same form the useful surface. The panel of each frame includes a blind slot (10) forming an opening passing through the thickness, and the frames are rigidly connected by a spar (3, 3a, 3b, etc.) suitable for being inserted (6) in the lengthwise direction (L) of same into the slots and including transverse notches (11) for receiving and holding the frames, each notch being arranged to receive, by a relative transverse translational movement (7) of the spar relative to the frames, the part in question of the panel of each frame.
