Abstract
A method for fabricating molded parts utilizing a plurality of mold details having respective molding surfaces defining respective contours. The method selecting a first group of the mold details and disposing the selected mold details adjacent to one another in a first predetermined spatial relationship so that the molding surfaces of the selected mold details are contiguous, to define a first molding cavity for producing a first desired molded part. A hardenable polymeric material is injected into the molding cavity and hardened to form the desired molded part. Various combinations of mold details can be assembled to produce multiple parts in a common mold frame.
