Abstract
A manufacturing mold for manufacturing a cable harness for a vehicle and a related method and system. The mold comprises a mold body and at least a first actuator, the mold body is made from an elastically reversibly deformable material and at least partially surrounds a mold cavity, the first actuator is coupled to a first portion of the mold body, the first portion at least partially delimits the mold cavity on the inside, the cable harness can at least be manufactured in the mold cavity, and the first actuator is designed to reversibly pivot the first portion between a first position and a second position that is different from the first position.
