1. A melt-delivery assembly, comprising:
a platen envelope comprising a stationary platen and a movable platen, the stationary platen configured to support a stationary mold portion of a mold assembly, the movable platen configured to support a movable mold portion of a mold assembly; and a frame assembly positioned outside of the platen envelope, the frame assembly configured to receive a melt, and the frame assembly including:
a multiple-outlet assembly configured to fluidly deliver the melt to multiple conduits toward the platen envelope, wherein the multiple conduits are configured to fluidly connect the multiple-outlet assembly with the stationary-mold portion, the multiple conduits extending from outside of the platen envelope through the stationary platen;an inlet for receiving fluid from a melt preparation assembly;a group of shooting-pot assemblies;a melt-flow path being configured to fluidly connect the inlet and the multiple-outlet assembly with the group of shooting-pot assemblies; anda grouping of valve assemblies being configured to interact with the group of shooting-pot assemblies, wherein each outlet of the multiple-outlet assembly is fluidly connected with a respective valve assembly of the grouping of valve assemblies.
