Mold-Masters’ new patent pending Multi program is designed to simplify multi-color, multi-material and multi-shot molding. The key to the new technology is the patented, brazed, two-piece manifold, which allows for multi-material molding within the same manifold. The system eliminates the need for individual manifolds for each color or material. These manifolds provide three levels of melt channels with gentle curves and turns instead of only straight runners, giving design flexibility that allows a balanced layout and reduced system stack height. Potential applications for the Multi system include automotive lenses, mobile phone cases, flip-top closures and over-molded products.
