An updated Scorim process oscillates the melt back and forth inside the mold with more flexibility and fewer machinery modifications.

Melt oscillation molds better parts

For instance, a dramatic increase in toughness was achieved when forming a shish-kebab crystalline structure by shear-controlled orientation in injection molding (SCORIM) in comparison to conventional molding (5).
