Abstract: A mold for manufacturing a wind turbine blade, including: a lower mold component, and an upper mold component, wherein the lower mold component and the upper mold component form a mold cavity in the shape of a wind turbine blade, and the upper mold component includes at least two upper mold parts is provided. The required floor-to-ceiling height of a production hall is decreased and the required lifting capacity of a crane is lowered.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade includes the steps of: a) arranging a first pre-casted blade segment adjacent to a second pre-casted blade segment, b) arranging a fiber lay-up in a connection region between the first pre-casted blade segment and the second pre-casted blade segment, c) covering the connection region with a vacuum cover, d) applying vacuum to a space covered by the vacuum cover, and e) infusing the connection region with a resin and curing the resin. Manufacturing the wind turbine blade by connecting pre-casted segments with each other by vacuum-assisted infusion of resin of added fibers and curing the resin simplifies the manufacturing process. This is in particular the case for very large blades.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a wind turbine blade shell, wherein the wind turbine blade shell is fabricated in a casting process using a mould and a plurality of shell components, includes the steps of: providing the mould and the plurality of shell components, providing at least one alignment mark at the mould and/or at one or more shell components placed in the mould, providing at least one marker at the position of the at least one alignment mark, and arranging the or further shell components in the mould and casting the wind turbine blade shell.
