MOLD-TOOL SYSTEM INCLUDES ONE-PIECE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY HAVING EACH INLET IN FLUID COMMUNICATION WITH OUTLETS

摘要

A mold-tool system (100), having a one-piece manifold assembly (102) is provided. The one-piece manifold assembly (102) has: a plurality of inlets (104); and a plurality of outlets (106) spaced apart from the plurality of inlets (104). A plurality of melt channels extend between the plurality of inlets and the plurality of outlets, and each melt channel extends between a single inlet and at least two outlets such that each inlet (104) is in fluid communication with at least two outlets (106).
