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