Abstract: An injection device for the production of at least one molded part made of amorphous metallic alloy, including: (i) a mold having at least two injection chambers connected to at least one cavity; and (ii) at least one heating means capable of melting metallic elements; and a multi-piston system including: (1) at least two injection pistons whose respective main axes are each aligned with that of their corresponding injection chamber and (2) a support cooperating with each of the injection pistons; and such that the support and/or the mold are able to move along an axis parallel to the main axes of the injection pistons so as to allow the loading of the metallic elements and the injection of the molten metallic elements into the injection chambers. Also, an injection method for the production of at least one molded part made of amorphous metallic alloy.
