INJECTION MOLDING MACHINE AND INJECTION MOLDING METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an injection molding machine which can suppress the amount of plant and equipment investment and decrease a pressure in a cavity and an injection molding method using the injection molding machine. SOLUTION: The injection molding machine has a first mold part 122, 127, or 130 making one mold, a second mold part which is arranged to approachably/separably in relation to the first mold part and makes the other mold, an injection means for injecting a molding material into the cavity formed between the first mold part and the second mold part, and a supply means having a nozzle for supplying the molding material. The injection means has a connection gate 140 to which the nozzle of the supply means is connected, a plurality of injection gates 150-152 arranged separately on the inner surface 123 of the first molding part which faces the cavity, and a passage 160 for extending the inside of the first mold part and for connecting the connection gate and the injection gates to each other.
