After months of painstaking work, the construction process for ORC 57#04 culminates in a major event: unmolding. This is the moment when the key parts, the nacelle assembled with the outer planks, finally emerge from their molds to reveal their shapes and elegance.
Unmolding: A Key Stage in Shipbuilding
Unmolding is a delicate and complex stage that requires great precision and perfect team coordination. Once the resin has been infused and the structural bulkheads assembled, the nacelle is firmly anchored to the outer planks. To release it, the technicians proceed with extreme caution to avoid damaging the part.
The key stages in unmolding:
- Preparation of the mold: The contact surfaces between the mold and the part are carefully cleaned and lubricated to facilitate detachment.
- Gradual detachment: Technicians use special tools to gently detach the nacelle from the mold, starting with the least sensitive areas.
- Final inspection: Once the nacelle has been completely unmolded, it is carefully inspected for any defects or imperfections.
