Abstract: A method for producing an electrical power device from subsequently manufactured parts by an additive manufacturing technique includes determining a target spatial distribution of a physical property of the electrical power device, the physical property being an electrical property and/or a mechanical property; forming a part of the electrical power device; selecting a physical property of a subsequent part of the electrical power device corresponding to the determined spatial distribution of the physical property such as to be different from a corresponding physical property of the part; and by means of the additive manufacturing technique, forming the subsequent part such that it is at least partially in contact with the part. An electrical power device is obtainable by the method, and the electrical power device may be used as an AC or DC insulator in an HVAC or HVDC apparatus.

Abstract: A method of making sand casting moulds with a protective coating for a multiple process of reactive moulding of insulation components and products made by filling up a mould cavity with polymer materials, including composites, based particularly on epoxy resins or composites based on cellulose materials, the method wherein the process of infiltration of the mould structure is performed chemically by soaking through the raw mould structure with chemosetting or thermosetting material. The application of a protective layer on external surfaces of a sand casting mould is done by means of any spraying, immersion or deposition method, whereas material with anti-adhesive properties is used for the protective coating in the form of organic chemosetting, thermosetting, light-curing material or in the form of inorganic material, including metal.
