Abstract: A method for fabricating a member in a resin-infusion-based casting process, in which at least one component forming the member is infused with a resin, including the steps: Providing a mold, the at least one component, the resin, at least one measurement device and at least one sensing device, wherein the sensing device has at least one property which changes measurably with temperature and/or when the sensing device comes into contact with the resin, attaching the at least one sensing device to an inner surface of the mold and/or to the component, arranging the component inside the mold, providing the resin to at least one inlet of the mold, and wirelessly measuring and evaluating the property of the sensing device with the measurement device for monitoring a temperature and/or a distribution of the resin in the mold and/or in the component, is provided.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a wind turbine blade including: arranging an upper mold on a lower wherein a dry fiber lay-up is arranged in the upper mold or in the upper mold and the lower mold, applying vacuum to a space between the upper and lower molds, and infusing the dry fiber lay-up in the upper and/or lower molds with resin through at least one upper resin inlet arranged at an upper portion of the upper mold. Having the at least one upper resin inlet of the upper mold improves the vacuum-assisted resin infusion. Resin provided through the at least one upper resin inlet has to be raised by a smaller height to reach the top of the mold. A resin flow of the resin provided through the at least one upper resin inlet is supported in a downward direction by the gravitational force.
