Presented by Proto Labs
After developing a prototype through additive manufacturing (3D printing) or CNC machining, the next step is often low-volume injection molding. In this webinar, you’ll get an overview of the different 3D printing, CNC machining and injection molding processes. You’ll learn about important design considerations for molding — such as draft and uniform wall thickness — which will better prepare you for an eventual transition from 3D printing to injection molding.

Depending on what you are making, you might want to think about making the move to injection molding. This is where there is a mold of what you want to make, and the material is injected into the mold with heat. This is also a quicker process than 3D printing. I really liked in the video where you explained the difference between injection molding and 3D printing and their benefits and drawbacks.
