Inflating the 3Di mold
- 6 years ago
Although it's not technically "inflated" North engineers describe the manipulation of its molds as such. Levers below the mold force the surface into its three-dimensional design shape before 3Di sections are laid on top and vacuum bagged for curing. The mold inflates to its design shape in minutes (this one is prepping for a Kerr 46 mainsail).
