<p>Method and apparatus for compressing melt and/or compensating for melt shrinkage in an injection mold are provided. The apparatus includes a cavity mold portion adjacent a cavity plate, a core mold portion adjacent a core plate, a mold cavity formed between the mold portions, and at least one piezoceramic actuator disposed between either or both of the core plate and the core mold portion and the cavity plate and the cavity mold portion. A controller is connected to the at least one piezoceramic actuator and activates it, thereby causing the mold cavity volume to decrease, compressing the melt.</p> |
