An apparatus and method for injection molding including at least one nozzle capable of injecting a molten material, and a shuttling system with a first mold part and a second mold part. The first mold part has at least one injection cavity for receiving molten material that is aligned and in communication with the at least one nozzle. The first mold part also has at least a pair of cooling chambers flanking the at least one injection cavity. The second mold part has a laterally moveable shuttle plate with a first mold core and a second mold core. The first and second mold cores are capable of being aligned with and inserted into both the at least one injection cavity and the cooling chambers. Moreover, a first product can be formed on the first mold core in the at least one injection cavity, while a second product is simultaneously cooled in one of the cooling chambers, and the second product can be formed on the second mold core in the at least one injection cavity, while the first product is simultaneously cooled in another cooling chamber.
