Fast, cheap, good: can you really have all three? For years, injection molding has been the go-to solution for manufacturing plastic parts quickly, affordably, and with excellent quality. But with advancements in 3D printing, is that still true? Learn more: [ Ссылка ]

In this video, we revisit our 2024 showdown between the Form 4 3D printer and traditional injection molding, this time using the newly released Form 4L large-format masked stereolithography (MSLA) 3D printer, which offers 4.6x larger build volume.

As the test part, we picked the Form 4 Resin Mixer Latch, a component of the Form 4 Mixer, an accessory that attaches to the Resin Tanks in Formlabs Form 4 Series printers and improves material performance by keeping resin homogenous in the tank during the printing process. For this test, we timed two production operations in a race to 1,000 end-use parts: the actual contract manufacturer in Taiwan using injection molding, and two Form 4L large-format 3D printers.

Watch as we dive into:
👉 Cost comparisons between 3D printing and injection molding
👉 Speed analysis for producing end-use parts
👉 Mechanical properties and post-processing insights for 3D printed parts

Can the blazing speed and flexibility of Form 4L 3D printers redefine manufacturing? Tune in to see the results and find out if 3D printing is ready to dethrone injection molding!
