Abstract
When injection-molding a molten thermoplastic resin into a molding having different thicknesses, a void inducing member is set in a cavity corresponding to heavy sections. Then gas pressure is applied passing through a gas passageway to a tip end of the void inducing member, thus forming a void nucleus in the resin adjacent to the tip end of the void inducing member. The void nucleus develops to a void by shrinking force of the resin as the molten resin cools.
