Batch Production Protocol
Bridge manufacturing for 10-200+ units. Skip the tooling costs of injection molding while maintaining production-grade quality and consistency.
3D Printing vs Injection Molding
| Factor | 3D Printing Batch | Injection Molding |
|---|---|---|
| Tooling Cost | ₹0 | ₹2-10 Lakhs |
| Lead Time | 3-7 days | 4-8 weeks |
| Design Changes | Instant | New tooling required |
| Minimum Order | 1 unit | 1000+ units typical |
| Best For Volume | 1 - 500 units | 500+ units |
| Complexity Cost | None | Increases with complexity |
