Injection molding vs. 3D printing doesn’t have to be an either/or proposition. Some projects use both processes during a product’s lifecycle. Traditionally, 3D printing has been used for prototyping and injection molding has been used for production.
3D printing applications continued to flourish in more technical industries, and the technology has become an intrinsic part of manufacturing and producing products from hearing aids, dentistry parts or surgical instruments and inhalers.
What is 3D printing? This article goes over the basics of 3D printing, otherwise known as additive manufacturing, covering its engineering principles and applications.
