Abstract
A method includes forming a moulded component that is axisymmetric about a component axis; segmenting the moulded component into a plurality of segments, each pair of adjacent segments including a pair of surfaces that is formed during segmentation of the moulded component; providing, via computerised numerical control machining, complementary finger joint profiles on the pair of surfaces of the each pair of adjacent segments; providing a plurality of slots on at least one of the pair of surfaces of the each pair of adjacent segments; positioning a plurality of blades partially within the plurality of slots; mating the complementary finger joint profiles provided on the pair of surfaces of the each pair of adjacent segments; and joining the each pair of adjacent segments to each other, such that the plurality of blades is retained within the plurality of slots.
