Design of the film-gated mold used for injecting plate samples with dimensions of 70 mm × 70 mm × 1.5 mm. The color coding indicates the fiber orientation, and the scale bar shows the orientation factor (as obtained by Moldex 3D simulation for fiber glass fiber composites). The mold design was chosen so as to obtain a uniform orientation throughout the mold area (adapted from Ansari et al., 2017)
