Claim 0:
1. A mold for manufacturing a wind turbine blade, the mold comprising:
a single stationary lower mold component that forms a bottom half of a mold cavity, wherein the single stationary lower mold is arranged directly on a floor surface; and
an upper mold component that forms a top half of the mold cavity and is split into a first upper mold part, which forms a first portion of the top half of the mold cavity, and a second upper mold part, which forms a second portion of the top half of the mold, along a longitudinal axis of the wind turbine blade, the first upper mold part and the second upper mold part movably connected to the single stationary lower mold component at opposing ends of the single stationary lower mold component;
wherein at least one of the first upper mold part and the second upper mold part is movable with respect to the single stationary lower mold component such that, when moved into a position next to the single stationary lower mold component, an outer surface of at least one of the first upper mold part and the second upper mold part forms a scaffolding adjacent to the single stationary lower mold component;
wherein the single stationary lower mold component and the upper mold component form the mold cavity in a shape of the wind turbine blade.
