Negative mold comprising predefined foam blocks for casting a component and method for producing the negative mold

摘要

A negative mold for casting a component such as a blade of a wind turbine is described. The negative mold includes a support structure and a plurality of foam blocks, which are mounted to the support structure in such a manner, that a common surface contour of the plurality of foam blocks defines an outer surface of the component, which is to be casted. Each foam block of the plurality of foam blocks is taken from a predetermined number of different types of foam blocks, each type of foam block is defined by a predetermined foam block size and foam block shape. A method for producing such a negative mold is also described.
