Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and system for manufacturing a wind turbine blade. The method comprising the steps of forming a cured blade element (102) of a first blade shell, forming a cured blade element (102) of a second blade shell, transferring the cured blade element (102) of the first blade shell to a first cradle (92), and transferring the cured blade element (102) of the second blade shell to a second cradle (94). Each cradle comprises a mould body (96, 98) having a moulding surface for abutting against a surface of the cured blade element to advantageously form a seal therebetween.
