How 3D printing is rethinking injection molding
Injection molding often only pays off for large quantities - but 3D printing is changing the rules of the game. For small series, prototypes and pilot series, 3D-printed molds open up new possibilities: faster, cheaper, more flexible. Formlabs and Kockzius show how additive manufacturing and classic injection molding can work together effectively.

Laser sintering (www.industrial-production.de)
Optimal for high throughput
In order to be able to react quickly to changing production lines, additive manufacturing has long been an integral part of the production of automotive parts due to its flexibility. Around 80 percent of products can already be printed using selective laser sintering (SLS).
