Abstract: The specification and drawings disclose an apparatus for permitting molding of components such as turbine blade assemblies and the like without the use of complex multipart molds. The disclosed apparatus comprises first and second mold halves carried by cooperating platens for relative movement toward and away from one another along a path. A connecting assembly is provided for attaching the first mold half to its respective platen in a manner which permits it to have free movement in directions perpendicular to the path and rotary movement about an axis parallel to the path. Additionally, a control assembly is provided to cause the first mold half to undergo predetermined transverse and rotary movement during movement along the path toward and away from the second mold half.
