The invention relates to a process and tooling for the lining of molds for curved pieces, the process comprising the application of a lining (15) of width A2 on the mold (3) in several successive passes, exerting pressure thereon so that it adapts to the curvature of the piece, and the number of passes being the minimum required so that the width A2 of the tape (15) allows achieving such adaptation, and the tooling comprising a drum (25) for applying the lining (15), a means of attaching its end to the mold (3) at the beginning of each pass, a conical roller (25), to exert pressure on the lining (15) uniformly along its entire width, and means (26, 29) for its movement through side guides (27, 28) arranged on the mold (3) parallel to the curved lines (5, 7) demarcating the piece.
A tooling for applying a composite that is non-deformable by itself in lining form on a planar mold (3) to form a piece of width A1 demarcated by two parallel curved lines (5, 7), wherein said tooling applies a lining (15) of width A2 on the mold (3), following a parallel path to said curved lines (5,7), in several successive passes such that each lining is laterally bound with the lining of a previous pass, exerting pressure on the lining (15) so that it adapts to the curvature of the piece and the number of passes, being the minimum required for the width A2 of the lining (15) to allow achieving such adaptation, said tooling comprising:
