4 CONCLUSIONS
The hybrid moulds solution, with moulding blocks
produced in epoxy based composite materials, is par-
ticularly suited for short production runs. The main
demands are related with the epoxy resin thermal and
mechanical capacities. These type of composite mate-
rials have lower thermal and mechanical properties.
So, also more care is needed when installed. It is also
important to realize that ...
