In this guide, learn how you can use 3D printed injection molds to affordably produce hundreds of functional prototypes and end-use parts.

In this comprehensive guide, learn about the various thermoforming processes, materials, equipment, and how you can create molds for thermoforming.

Learn how to create 3D printed injection molds for low-volume, in-house injection molding to produce small, functional parts in production plastics.

Get an overview of the different low volume manufacturing scenarios and explore the technologies and solutions for low volume production of end use parts.

For large parts, industrial processes will still be necessary. This DIY injection molding technique is best optimized for producing small parts at low volumes.

Get an overview of manufacturing processes for producing different types of plastic parts and learn how to select the best option for your application.

3D printed injection molds can be used for low-volume production of plastic parts. Learn how to make injection molds with this Formlabs white paper.

The short answer: plastic injection molds cost anywhere between $100 for a 3D printed low-volume injection mold to $100,000+ for a complex multi-cavity ...
