An apparatus for injection molding includes at least one mold part having at least one surface. The mold part includes at least one mold part having at least one substantially central, sloping, non-linear surface, the at least one mold part including at least one shaped portion. The mold part further includes at least one substantially closed cavity region disposed within the at least one substantially central, sloping, non-linear surface. The mold part further includes at least one gate disposed on a base portion of the mold part for providing fluid communication to the at least one cavity region, the base portion having a plurality of recesses/depressions extending longitudinally along the length of the mold part. Additionally, at least one flow restrictor may be positioned on the mold part for initially directing flow of injected fluid to the at least one shaped portion.

1. A sled product formed in a mold, comprising: a guide member having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal and distal ends having a first width, the guide member further having a single, centrally disposed portion between the proximal and distal ends, the centrally disposed portion including at least one shaped portion;the at least one shaped portion having a sloping, non-linear surface;wherein the centrally disposed portion has a second width different than the first width of the proximal and distal ends of the guide member; andwherein the at least one shaped portion includes a first camming member and a second camming member, the first and second camming members each having spaced apart first and second cam wedges, each of the cam wedges including at least first and second drive faces configured to define first and second drive angles with respect to a base portion of the sled product. 2. The sled product formed in the mold according to claim 1, wherein the spaced apart first and second cam wedges of each of the first and second camming members are offset with respect to each other. 3. The sled product formed in the mold according to claim 1, wherein the centrally disposed portion modifies a speed and a direction of the injected fluid received via the at least one gate due to a curved-shape configuration of a central wall of the guide member. 4. The sled product formed in the mold according to claim 1, wherein the at least one shaped portion includes an upper portion and a lower portion. 5. The sled product formed in the mold according to claim 1, wherein the sled product is made of a polymer. 6. The sled product formed in the mold according to claim 1, wherein the sled product is made of polyphtalamide. 7. A method comprising: injecting a polymer into a mold so as to form a guide member for the sled product, the mold being shaped so that:(i) the guide member has a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal and distal ends having a first width;(ii) the guide member has a single, centrally disposed portion between the proximal and distal ends, the centrally disposed portion further including at least one shaped portion;(iii) the shaped portion having a sloping, non-linear surface;(iv) wherein the centrally disposed portion has a second width different than the first width of the proximal and distal ends of the guide member; and(v) wherein the at least one shaped portion includes a first camming member and a second camming member, the first and second camming members each having spaced apart first and second cam wedges, each of the cam wedges including at least first and second drive faces configured to define first and second drive angles with respect to a base portion of the sled product. 8. The method according to claim 7, wherein the spaced apart first and second cam wedges of each of the first and second camming members are offset with respect to each other. 9. The method according to claim 7, wherein the centrally disposed portion modifies a speed and a direction of the injected fluid received via the at least one gate due to a curved-shape configuration of a central wall of the guide member. 10. The method according to claim 7, wherein the at least one shaped portion includes an upper portion and a lower portion. 11. The method according to claim 7, wherein the sled product is made of the polymer. 12. The method according to claim 7, wherein the sled product is made of polyphtalamide.
