castable Almost any metal can be cast No flash or parting lines
Injection molding is one of the most commonly used manufacturing technologies to produce thermoplastic products. The technology uses a metal mold in which the molten, fluid plastic is injected and solidified to achieve its final product shape.
Injection molding is the technology to produce high volume series at reasonable cost. Series production most commonly uses steel molds. Tooling cost accounts for a big part on the operating cost when choosing for injection molding.

INJECTION MOLDINGINDUSTRY PAINS
Overall cost and lead time, especially for prototype and small series production. Tooling cost production Four to eight weeks lead time for complex (metal) tooling
Limitation in design change and customized designs due to the dependency on traditional molds. Design iterations need insert parts or a new tool Every new design needs a new tool
Warehouse cost and stock overhead Metal tools are typically stored for a long period

The technology of choice for functional prototyping and low volume production due to
Saving time and cost on metal tooling Additive manufactured molds inserts available within 24h Cost-effective solution for complex part designs
Freedom of design Agility to test multiple design variations Highly optimized process chain from CAD to 3D printing
Sustainability Use of printed inserts, reduces amount and storage cost of metal
tools Saving on warehouse storage cost of the metal tools
