For many years, injection moulding has led the way as a technique for producing three-dimensional plastic products that are used across every sector and country in the world.
However, just as technology advances in all areas, so the advent of 3D printing has given manufacturers and consumers a greater choicer when it comes to deciding how to make plastic products. Both methods have their distinct advantages and disadvantages and are used for different products, applications, and circumstances.
| 3D Printing | Injection Molding |
Design Changes | Design changes can be implemented immediately with minimal downtime. | Design changes are costly and time consuming. |
Lead Time | Very Short | Longer lead times due to mold fabrication and setup processes |
Tooling Costs | No tooling costs | Yes, for mold creation |
Material Choices | Offers a wide range of material options | Limited to materials compatible with injection molding processes. |
Design Versatility | Well-suited for complex geometries or intricate designs. | More cost-effective for parts with relatively simple geometries. |
Customization | Allows for tailored customization of individual parts. | Limited customization; molds are expensive and inflexible. |
