Injection molding, an essential in manufacturing, excels in mass-producing plastic parts with precision and cost-effectiveness. Yet, the rise of industrial 3D printing introduces a transformative shift, challenging traditional methods with its tool-less process and design versatility, especially in 3D printing for production and creating 3D printing injection molds. This synergy between injection molding and 3D printing in manufacturing marks a new frontier, blending established efficiency with innovative flexibility.

Committed to Our Customers

We are currently manufacturing a part the size of my little finger – for small parts such as this, we are able to fit around 1000 parts onto the H350’s build tray. Importantly, this means that within 24 hours, we are able to produce the entire order, which is incredible. Over several weeks, we can scale this up to 3D printing tens of thousands of parts quite easily, which are numbers we would never be able to realize with injection molding in such a short space of time – and definitely not at that cost.
