Injection molding vs 3D printing. A 2-cavity tool injection molding machine competes with 4 Form 4 3D printers in a race to make 1,000 parts, which are simple plastic latches. If it sounds a bit unfair that 1 injection molding machine goes up against 4 3D printers, they show the 3D printers cost less and take up less floor space. The also require less lead time, as in, not any, vs weeks for the injection molding machine.
See below for keynote address explaining more of how the Form 4 3D printers work.
