Large scale 3d print using PLA. Final print is 11"x7". This is for a customer evaluation before going to injection molding. Spending under $100 now is less expensive than spending $1000s trying to modify a steel mold.

Short-run manufacturing with 3D printing is a viable alternative to injection molding and machining.

Plastic injection molding requires high initial costs for mold production, and mistakes and changes are costly. Long lead times are also a significant factor, some molds may take 3 months or more to build. You don't have that with 3D printing.

CNC machining has a lower initial cost, but the material scrap rate is often high, and the final design is limited to the capabilities of the machining tools.

3D printing offers no initial tooling costs, and the material scrap rate is often less than 10% and sometimes zero! Parts can be produced from the first day. For short production runs, where reaching the market early is key, let 3D printing give you the upper hand.

There is a wide material selection suitable to your design needs, from affordable PLA, to carbon-fiber reinforced plastics. The final cost of the product is a direct relationship to the material selected. No tooling, so no set-up charges ever apply.

This is the future of manufacturing, even automotive companies are embracing this technology for their production vehicles.

Interested in getting your design on the market, then let us help you.
