In a method of making multi-component plastic molded parts, using an apparatus which includes two outer platens with first half-molds, and a middle platen with second half-molds interacting with the first half-molds such as to define cavities in two parting planes for injection of a plastic melt and/or a PUR mixture, one of the first and second half-molds can move in increments relative to the other one of the first and second half-molds, thereby forming different cavities in the parting planes from cycle to cycle. In a first cycle preforms are produced in respective cavities and then held in one of the first and second half-molds as the other one of the first and second half-molds moves in increments. Further components can then be injected into cavities formed in the parting planes from cycle to cycle, while another process step can be executed from cycle to cycle in free half-molds.

Provided is an injection molding method in which a constricting section is provided at a boundary between a first stage and a second stage of a screw. When a mixture of a molten resin and reinforcing fibers passes through the constricting section, compression force higher than compression force on an upstream side of the constricting section is applied to the mixture. A supply section on a downstream side of the constricting section has a shaft diameter smaller than an outer diameter of the constricting section. Therefore, the vicinity of the supply section becomes a reduced-pressure region with respect to the mixture having passed through the constricting section, and the mixture is accordingly expanded. As a result, spring-back occurs on the reinforcing fibers and a Barus effect occurs on the molten resin, thereby making it possible to produce a state that is advantageous to open the fiber bundle. 1. An injection molding method , comprising:a plasticization step of supplying a solid resin raw material and reinforcing fibers to a cylinder including a screw, and rotating the screw in a normal direction to generate a mixture of the reinforcing fibers and a molten resin, the screw being rotatable around a rotation axis and being movable forward and rearward along the rotation axis; andan injection step of injecting the mixture into a cavity of a mold, wherein in the plasticization step,compression force that is higher than compression force on an upstream side of a constricting region is applied to the mixture in the constricting region, the constricting region being provided in at least a portion of the screw in the rotation axis direction,a pressure applied to the mixture passed through the constructing region is reduced in a reduced-pressure region on a downstream side of the constricting region, andthe mixture is kneaded through the rotation of the screw after the pressure applied to the mixture is reduced, wherein the screw includes,{'sub': 2', '1', '2', '1', '3 ...
