The foregoing objects are attained by the opposed gating injection method and apparatus for forming molded articles and for use with injection molders wherein a first mold half and a second mold half are adapted to cooperate and form at least one mold cavity. A first injector nozzle is positioned in a first mold half adjacent the cavity, for injecting a first molding resin into the cavity through a first orifice. A second injector nozzle is included which is positioned in the second mold half adjacent the cavity for injecting a second molding resin. The second resin may be different from the first resin or the same as the first resin. The second resin is injected through a second orifice unconnected with the first orifice. The injector nozzles may be either simultaneously or sequentially activated for filling the mold cavity, and may be single material or co-injection type nozzles.
