Abstract: A manufacturing mold for the production of a rotor blade for a wind turbine, where at least in one region of its longitudinal extension between a rotor blade root and a rotor blade tip, the finished rotor blade has an aerodynamic cross-sectional profile that has a profile leading edge (nose) and a profile trailing edge which are connected together via a suction side and a pressure side of the cross-sectional profile. A manufacturing mold can be divided along at least one separation plane which extends in the longitudinal direction of the rotor blade and between the profile leading edge and the profile trailing edge while simultaneously dividing the suction side and the pressure side, into a manufacturing mold part for producing a rotor blade part having the profile leading edge, and into a manufacturing mold part for producing a rotor blade profile part having the profile trailing edge.
