Injection molding vs 3D printing
Choosing the right process for plastic products.
3D printing, products & mass production
3D printing has no tooling cost, ideal for prototypes and small runs. Injection molding needs a mold but makes each unit cheap at volume.
Many brands prototype with 3D printing, then move to molding for mass production.
